(Dharshini.G, Intern journalist) New Delhi: More than 150 academicians from different colleges in India and abroad have written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that deferring the Medical and Engineering placement tests – JEE-Mains and NEET – any further will mean trading off the future of students.
Alluding to the developing theme against the direction of these tests in September taking into account the rising COVID-19 cases, the academicians said in their letter, “Some are attempting to play with future of students to move their own political plan”.
“Young people and understudies are the future of the country yet in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, clouds of vulnerability have assembled over their professions as well. There is part of anxieties about confirmation and classes which should be settled at the earliest,” they have said in their letter.
Like each year, this year excessively a large number of understudies have finished their Class 12 tests and are currently holding up at home to anxiously make the following stride, the letter said.
“The legislature has reported the dates for JEE-Mains and NEET…any further deferral in directing the tests will result in a waste of a valuable year for students. The fantasies and fate of our childhood and understudies can’t be undermined at any expense. Be that as it may, some are attempting to play with the eventual fate of our understudies basically to drive their own political plan and restrict the government,” it said.
The signatories incorporate academicians from the Delhi University, IGNOU, Lucknow University, JNU, BHU, IIT Delhi, and Indian academicians from unfamiliar colleges, for example, the University of London, University of California, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Ben Gurion University, Israel, among others.
