Annie Raja, a leader of the Communist Party of India (CPI), has expressed outrage over comments made by Abhishek Singh, the Director General of the National Testing Agency (NTA), regarding the NEET-UG examination cancellation. Raja demands Singh's immediate removal, stating that his casual attitude towards the serious issue of a paper leak is unacceptable. The controversy stems from the NEET-UG examination held on May 3, which was canceled due to leaked questions affecting over 22 lakh candidates across 551 cities in India and 14 international centers. During a briefing to the Parliamentary Standing Committee, NTA officials clarified that the leak involved only certain questions and not the entire paper. They emphasized that the NTA has a zero-tolerance policy for such incidents to maintain public trust in competitive examinations. The CBI is currently investigating the matter. To prevent future occurrences, proposals are being discussed to transition NEET-UG to a computer-based testing format starting next year, with a re-examination set for June 21 under stricter security protocols mandated by the Union Education Ministry.
