The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially announced that the NEET-UG exam will be re-conducted on June 21, providing only 37 days for preparation to over 24 lakh medical aspirants. This decision comes in the wake of a significant paper leak scandal that has led to protests and a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe. Students are voicing their concerns about the logistical challenges they face, as many had already returned to their hometowns after completing coaching in cities like Kota. The sudden re-exam has caused anxiety over travel costs and accommodation, with many students questioning if they can change their exam centers to alleviate financial burdens. Furthermore, the mental toll of the situation has been profound, with students expressing feelings of despair and frustration, stating that their hard work is being treated as a joke. The overarching concern remains whether the NTA can ensure a secure examination process after the previous leak, with calls for increased accountability and security measures.
