Taking to X, Priyanka said: “The laxity and corruption of the BJP government is fatal for the youth. After the news of scam in NEET exam, now the NET exam held on June 18 has also been cancelled due to the fear of irregularities. Will accountability be fixed now? Will the education minister take responsibility for this lax system?”
The examination took place in OMR (pen and paper) mode and was held in two shifts across various cities.
Inputs from Indian cyber crime coordination centre suggested possible compromises, prompting the ministry of education to take action. A new examination will be scheduled, and the matter has been referred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for a thorough investigation.
