Speaking to the media recently, Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, urged PM Narendra Modi to ensure a thorough and respectful debate in Parliament regarding the alleged irregularities in the NEET exam.

The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET-UG), conducted by the NTA on May 5, saw participation from approximately 24 lakh students.

As a result, the Education Ministry canceled the UGC-NET and NEET (postgraduate) exams due to concerns over their integrity.
