New Delhi [India], June 20 (HBTV): The National Students' Union of India (NSUI) has called for immediate action against the National Testing Agency (NTA) amid the cancellation of the University Grants Commission-National Eligibility Test (UGC-NET) exam conducted on June 18.  

NSUI, the student wing of the Indian National Congress (INC), in a release, said that this development has once again highlighted serious concerns about the integrity and security of examinations conducted by the NTA. 

The NSUI’s president Varun Choudhary appealed to the Education Minister to take immediate and decisive action, including banning the NTA and initiating legal proceedings against its officials. 

"We have repeatedly pointed out the flaws and vulnerabilities in the examination processes conducted by NTA. The recent compromise of the UGC-NET exam is just one more example of their failure. It is time for the Education Minister to act responsibly and protect students' interests," Choudhary stated. 

Choudhary has urged UGC-NET students to join a nationwide protest scheduled for June 21, 2024, which will be held at over 180 universities across the country. Additionally, he has called for participation in the Chhattra Sansad Gherav on June 24, 2024, to further pressure authorities into taking action against the NTA and addressing the concerns of students.

"The Education Minister's inaction and the decision to target students instead of holding NTA accountable is unacceptable. We will continue to protest until justice is served and the examination process is reformed to ensure fairness and transparency," Choudhary emphasized.
