9 June 2024: The Fraternity Movement of India has expressed deep concern and disappointment over the recent reports of a scam involving the NEET UG 2024 examination. The organization emphasizes its commitment to ensuring a fair and just education system for all students.
In a statement released on Friday, the Fraternity Movement highlighted the alarming nature of the reports, which indicate paper leaks in Gujarat and Bihar, as well as irregularities in marks distribution. These issues, the statement notes, not only undermine the hard work and dedication of honest students but also shake public confidence in the credibility of the National Testing Agency (NTA) and the broader educational system.
The Fraternity Movement is calling for several immediate actions from the NTA and the Government of India to address the situation:
- Thorough Investigation: An independent and transparent investigation is necessary to identify those responsible, including NTA officials. All culpable parties should face strict legal consequences.
- Fairness for Students: Measures must be implemented to ensure that affected students are given a fair chance. This could include re-examinations or other compensatory actions to ensure no student’s future is compromised due to incidents like this.
- Strengthening Security Measures: The NTA must overhaul its examination processes to incorporate enhanced security measures, preventing such incidents in the future.
- Transparency in Communication: The NTA should maintain transparency regarding the investigation and the measures taken to address the issue.
The Fraternity Movement extends solidarity to affected students and commits to providing legal assistance to those in distress. They encourage students to reach out for support as needed.
“We stand united in our commitment to ensuring a fair and just education system for all. We urge the authorities to take these demands seriously and act swiftly to restore trust in the NEET examination process. The future of our nation’s youth depends on the integrity of our educational assessments,” said Asim Khan, President of the Fraternity Movement.
