New Delhi: If the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP<\/a>) wasted no time in organising a nationwide agitation on the NEET-UG paper leak<\/a> controversy in June, the Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas<\/a> has now raised questions over the “centralised” approach for the Central University Entrance Test (CUET<\/a>). The Vidya Bharti<\/a> – which runs a chain of schools – had earlier this month expressed “deep concern” over the NEET-UG leak.<\/p>\n

All these organisations are affiliated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh<\/a> (RSS). It is probably the first such instance during the tenure of the Narendra Modi government<\/a> that these organisations have unanimously and strongly pointed out faults and gaps in the government-run exam system.<\/p>\n

All of these are also learnt to have communicated concerns and forwarded various suggestions to the Centre’s high-powered panel on exam reforms<\/a> under former Isro chairman K Radhakrishnan, ET has learnt.<\/p>\n

The Nyas, for instance, is learnt to have suggested that former examination controllers from Union Public Service Commission or State Public Service Commissions should be appointed in NTA, local district administration should be involved in distribution, storage etc of question papers and in conduct of the exam, full protocol needs to be drawn up for every exigency and a two-stage system of prelims and main examination should be there for NEET too.<\/p>\n

“Leaks have become an organised phenomenon over the last decade as job stakes are now very high. The government certainly needs to focus on this issue. However, the leaks apart, there are serious structural flaws that need fixing. Syllabus to question paper banks need an overhaul, in several cases they are completely unrelated and unnecessary for service requirements. We have, in fact, taken up these issues earlier also with the Centre. Most recently, we have raised the issue of CUET and serious flaws in the answer keys issued by UGC. A big question is whether CUET should really be made applicable to all state and private universities when there are such wide variations,” Devender Singh, national coordinator (competitive exams) for Nyas told ET.<\/p>\n

ABVP is also set to send its suggestions to the panel on exam reforms, its office holders confirmed. The line of thinking is clear.”Student issues are our primary concern. We had even written to the government on the issues of student suicides in top institutes. So, we take up all issues of concern to students regardless of who is in power. In the NEET-UG 2024 case, we felt that there was a clear trust deficit in NTA and the conduct of NEET 2024. We, therefore, wasted no time. Even before submitting a memorandum on the issue to the education ministry, we had launched a nationwide agitation on NEET,” Yagnavalkya Shukla, ABVP’s national general secretary pointed out to ET, in a recent conversation.In a press conference on July 4 in New Delhi, Vidya Bharti Akhil Bhartiya Shiksha Sansthan’s chairperson D Ramakrishna Rao said that the issue of NEET-UG leak was one of deep concern and major changes were needed in the exam format. Rao called for exam pattern changes that test not just the IQ of a student but also his\/her competence.
