Govt's Decision to Hold JEE, NEET Exams in Sept Will Expose 25L Students to Health Risks: Partha Chatterjee

News 18  

West Bengal education minister Partha Chatterjee on Friday said the Union government’s decision to hold JEE and NEET in September, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, will expose over 25 lakh students in the country to health hazards. Six states, including West Bengal, on Friday moved the apex court seeking review of its order permitting the Centre to conduct NEET and JEE entrance exams in September. All India Trinamool Youth Congress president Abhishek Banerjee alleged that the Narendra Modi government “did not present a true picture” of the COVID-19 situation in the country to the Supreme Court. TMCP state president Trinankur Bhattacharya, who organised a sit-in on the occasion to protest against the Centre’s decision, termed the move “suicidal” and said the students’ body “cannot sit idle under the present circumstances”.
