NEET Takes Another Political Turn After Students Miss Exam In Bengaluru
A Congress rally allegedly choked the Bengaluru roads as aspiring doctors panicked over arriving late at their NEET re-test centres in Bengaluru city yesterday. At least three students even missed the exam. The issue has now taken a political turn, with the BJP and the Congress facing off over the parents' allegations.
About 22 lakh students appeared for the NEET UG re-test across the country yesterday, over a month after the first attempt was invalidated due to allegations of a paper leak.
The exam began at 2 pm. Students were asked to report half an hour earlier. But as the clock ticked, panic unfolded on the roads. Parents with two-wheelers tried to squeeze through rows of cars. Some rode their scooters on footpaths.
