West Bengal: NEET Candidates Demand Re-Examination

Once again, NEET candidates who took the examination in the Bengali medium protested near the office of Directorate of Medical Education, West Bengal on May 22, 2017. The candidates demanded and urged the CBSE to conduct re-examination for the Bengali medium students. The protesters claimed that English-Hindi question paper was easier than the Bengali medium question paper. They criticised CBSE for not conducting the NEET-UG 2017 examination in a uniform manner.

Students carried out protests by displaying the posters with respect to NEET examination. They submitted a memorandum to the Directorate of Medical Education. Most of the students felt that the date for the announcement of NEET-UG 2017 results is approaching, and it is time for the CBSE to take a decision on it. The students demanded justice and cautioned that they will continue the protest until the CBSE comments on the issue.

The students carried out a massive protest, and a large police force was deployed to control the students.

CBSE did not follow the policy of ‘one nation, one test’ while conducting the NEET-UG 2017 examination. It did not maintain uniformity in preparing the question papers. The questions in English-Hindi medium papers were different from regional languages. One of the parents from Tamil Nadu also alleged that CBSE gave questions from state syllabus in Tamil medium question paper, and CBSE syllabus based questions in English medium question paper. She demanded CBSE to hold a re-examination in a uniform manner.
