On Saturday, a large number of NEET applicants and locals demonstrated against the purported anomalies in the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (UG) 2024 results by taking to the streets in the Lanka area. With signs reading “We Want Justice” and “All Eyes on NEET,” they called for the National Testing Agency (NTA) to reexamine NEET UG 2024 and take corrective measures. In addition to demanding a reevaluation of the NEET UG exam, the protesting candidates questioned the NTA’s legitimacy.
To protest, the NEET candidates congregated close to the main entrance of Banaras Hindu University (BHU) in the Lanka neighborhood. They insisted on holding the entrance exam once more. The students’ demonstration lasted for an hour until police intervened and calmed them down. The demonstration was subsequently called off.
The candidates stated that this year around 24 lakh students had appeared in the NEET exam. Of these, about 13 lakh students passed.
“This is for the first time that 67 students secured rank-1 and eight students from a centre scored 720 out of 720 marks,” one of the aspirants wondered.
However, they further threatened that they would continue their stir in coming days if their demands at not met at the earliest.
