#ChaloJantarMantar: The Mega Protest against the National Testing Agency (NTA) and the technical glitches faced by the students during the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET), Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) and the Common Universities Entrance Test (CUET) is taking place at Jantar Mantar in Delhi today, August 17, as the students have received permission for the same.
Twitter flooded with #ChaloJantarMantar #JEEMainsThirdAttemptForAll tweets
Thousands of students have been flooding Twitter with various hashtags such as #ChaloJantarMantar #JEEMainsThirdAttemptForAll in an attempt to rally protests against the NTA and make their demands heard. However, the authorities have not responded yet. Considering the silence maintained by NTA, the students have now decided to demonstrate ‘MaHA Andolan’ at Jantar Mantar.
Conduct extra attempts for NEET, JEE, CUET 2022
The students are now demanding that the NTA conduct an extra attempt for all three exams this year, i.e. JEE Mains 2022, NEET UG 2022 and CUET 2022 due to the fact that technical and administrative glitches caused the last-minute changes in the schedule for the students, leading to many of them missing the exams in the process.
The protest is allegedly being organised by student activist Pawan Bhadana. Meanwhile, the UGC Chairman, M Jagadesh Kumar has said that the issues during the CUET this year were not "setbacks" but "lessons", and added that the UGC's proposal to merge the NEET and JEE with the CUET will not be fazed by these issues.
While the Chairman added that time is required to formulate the plans for the merger, the move will come to the aid of students, preventing them from writing multiple entrance exams.
