NEET row, Priyanka Gandhi urges govt to correct ‘irregularities’

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday, attacked the Centre over the NEET-UG medical entrance row and said the government will have to take “serious steps” to correct ‘irregularities’ in examinations.

Amid allegations of inflation of marks in the NEET-UG medical entrance exam, the National Testing Agency (NTA) announced on Saturday that the education ministry has set up a four-member



panel to review the grace marks awarded to more than 1,500 candidates.

In a post in Hindi on X, Priyanka Gandhi said, “Lakhs of children prepare hard for exams like NEET and spend the most precious moments of their lives preparing for it. The whole family puts their faith and strength in this effort. But year after year, paper leaks and irregularities related to results have been reported in these exams.”
