Students protest cancellation of UGC-NET exam and ask Pradhan to quit in Lucknow

Members of different student groups staged a protest outside the Lucknow University here against the central government over the cancellation of UGC-NET exam demanding resignation of the Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

The students, mostly of the Samajwadi Chhatra Sangh and National Students’ Union of India (NSUI), gathered outside Bhaurao Deoras Dwar of the Lucknow



University and raised slogans against the Union Grants Commission (UGC), National Testing Agency (NTA) and the Union education ministry.

Holding a placard demanding resignation of Pradhan, one of the protesters told the media, “We worked hard for over a year for the NET exam which has been cancelled. This is injustice to us and strictest action should be taken against those responsible for it.”
