Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi in Lok Sabha Led the charge on the Centre on the NEET issue. He said in the Lok Sabha on that there is a very serious problem in the country’s examination system, prompting Education minister Dharmendra Pradhan to issue a strong rebuttal and state that there was no evidence of paper leaks in the last seven years.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is probing the alleged irregularities in the medical entrance exam NEET. The agency has lodged six FIRs. The NEET-UG is conducted by the NTA for admissions to MBBS, BDS, AYUSH and other related courses in government and private institutions.
On the first day of the Budget session of Parliament, Opposition members raised the issue of exam paper leaks.
Noting that millions of students are concerned, Rahul claimed, “if you are rich and if you have money, you can buy the Indian examination system”.
“This is a systemic issue, what exactly are you doing to fix it at the systemic level?” he asked Pradhan, who was responding to queries during the Question Hour.
A visibly peeved Pradhan said it was unfortunate that the member described the examination system as rubbish.
Stressing that there should be constructive discussions on the issue, Birla said if questions are raised about all the examinations in the country, then that will have an impact on the Indian education system and the perception about it around the world.
The CBI is probing the issue of exam paper leaks and the Supreme Court is also looking into the matter. “We should look at developing a better system… it is not right to raise questions about all examinations,” he said.
