He downloaded his admit card just a day before the exam. His assigned centre was in Abu Dhabi. He has no passport, his family lacks the funds to send him abroad, and there is no time left. He wept all night and is refusing to take the exam \u2013 can one even imagine the level of stress involved?\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/> \u201cHow did this even happen? No student should have to face the issue of being unable to reach their exam centre. In reality, the NTA is merely testing the patience of the country\u2019s students and their parents,\u201dGandhi said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Gandhi asserted that a system which fails to allot a student an examination centre in their own city and instead assigns one abroad has no right to conduct exams, news agency PTI reported.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>He further stated, \u201cStop gambling with our children\u2019s future. They deserve a sensitive, responsible, and accountable education and examination system \u2013 and we will ensure they get it.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Gandhi launched a signature campaign to highlight issues concerning the country\u2019s education system on Thursday. The campaign includes paper leaks and high fees, etc.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>He described the campaign as a platform through which students can directly place their demands before the government. His call for participation came a day after he interacted with students at a convention in Kota, Rajasthan.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>During the interaction, he termed India\u2019s education system a \u201crejection system\u201d rather than a selection system. He alleged that the system imposes a heavy financial burden and causes intense stress for students and middle-class families.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Addressing the gathering in Kota, a hub for coaching centres, Gandhi said the present education framework is \u201cextremely stressful and unfair\u201d.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>The NTA had earlier cancelled the NEET-UG 2026 examination scheduled on May 3 following allegations of a paper leak. The government then directed the CBI to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>(With agency inputs)<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/delhi\/stop-gambling-with-childrens-future-rahul-gandhi-attacks-govt-over-neet-ug-centre-blunder\/articleshow\/131872141.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rahul Gandhi has slammed the government over a NEET-UG centre blunder calling it a &#8220;gamble&#8221; with students&#8217; futures NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday criticised the Modi government after a NEET-UG aspirant from Nagpur was allotted Abu Dhabi as the examination centre for the re-test, saying the authorities should \u201cstop gambling\u201d with the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24152,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[150],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24151","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-delhi"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24151"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24151\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
