Congress
leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday urged the government to take into account
concerns of students who have been demanding postponement of Joint Entrance
Examination (JEE) and National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET).
“Today
lakhs of students are saying something. The GOI must listen to the Students Ke
Mann Ki Baat about NEET, JEE exams and arrive at an acceptable solution,”
Gandhi said in a tweet.
His
tweet comes a day after Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Delhi’s Education
Minister Manish Sisodia requested the Centre to cancel the JEE and NEET.
“The
Central government is playing with the lives of millions of students in the
name of JEE-NEET. My request to the Centre is to cancel both these exams immediately
and make an alternative arrangement for admission this year. In this time of
unprecedented crisis, an unprecedented step will lead to a solution,” Sisodia
tweeted.
The
National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced that JEE-Main will be held from September
1 to 6 and NEET for undergraduate courses on September 13.
