Gandhi Slams Exam System Over Centre Mix-up and Stress
Rahul Gandhi launched a nationwide campaign, 'Chhatron Ki Goonj,' in Kota to criticize the education system as an 'extortion machine' and 'rejection system,' highlighting stress and unfairness. This sentiment was amplified when he addressed issues surrounding the NEET exam. A specific incident involved a student from Nagpur who was assigned an exam centre in Abu Dhabi, causing immense distress for the family. Gandhi criticized the National Testing Agency (NTA) for such logistical failures, asserting that the system exploits students' time and peace. The context is further complicated by ongoing concerns over examination integrity, including paper leaks, and the security risks faced by aspirants traveling to distant centres.
