Statement made on Twitter by P. Chidambaram, MP (RS)
First, the alleged leaks and the scam about grace marks surrounding NEET. Now, the UGC-NET exam held on Tuesday is canceled
Both exams were conducted by NTA. Should not someone be held accountable and asked to step down or be replaced? Who will compensate the students and parents who have lost precious year(s) and huge money?
We should leave the subject of entrance/eligibility tests to the state governments. A state may opt for an NTA-conducted exam, but it should have the liberty to conduct its own exam for the colleges under its control
This choice will put the NTA on test. The number of states opting for and the number of states opting out will be a measure of NTA’s credibility and efficiency
