There was no problem when students were selected for medical courses on the basis of plus 2 marks. The best doctors in the world have also emerged from India. But since the central government brought the NEET exam claiming to produce qualified doctors, controversies and issues have become a constant story.
Accordingly, the scams that took place in the recent NEET examination are shocking. Scams such as awarding marks for money and selling question papers have rocked the country. Above all, it raises the question of what the future holds when doctors who can save precious human lives are selected through such scams.
Also, the issue has become more serious as the cheating in the NEET exam has just come to light. But can the central government prove that such scams did not take place in previous NEET exams? People have lost faith in the NEET exam due to the current scam. Therefore, proceeding with NEET will be like acting against the people of the country. Therefore, Mamata Banerjee has said in her letter that the NEET exam should be canceled without further delay.
