NEET counselling date confusion cleared
The Free Press Journal|July 07, 2024
On a day of some confusion over the “cancellation” of the NEET-UG counselling for admission to medical colleges, the Congress demanded that the exam conducted by the National Testing Agency be conducted again in view of all allegations of paper leak and other irregularities.

Through the earlier part of Saturday, there was a buzz and reports in the media that the counselling for the examination -- which was conducted on May 5 and whose result was announced on June 4 – had been deferred. These reports took it for granted that the counselling was scheduled to begin on Saturday. Since there were allegations of irregularities in the exam, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh also latched on the charges and posted a tweet, saying: “The whole NEET-UG issue is getting worse by the day. The nonbiological PM and his biological Education Minister are adding further proof to their demonstrated incompetence and insensitivity. The future of lakhs of our youth is simply unsafe in their hands.”
