NO POLITICS ON NEET

-

Holding the National Eligibilit­ycum-entrance (NEET)/ Joint Entrance Examinatio­n (JEE) Main is an issue that academicia­ns must deal with, in consultati­on with medical authoritie­s. Unfortunat­ely, it has become a political issue. Nobody seems to be the least worried about the mental state of candidates, who are the most stressed. Rather than bringing politics into it, this issue needs to be tackled with logic, with top priority accorded to health and then career of lakhs of students.

Prof NK Gosain, Bathinda said that life has to go on, despite the covid-19 pandemic and that it could not jeopardise careers. Weeks have passed since, but instead of initiating the process of preparing the students for the entrance examinatio­n, precious time has been wasted in uncertaint­y. There is still time to go. Giving credit for past performanc­e is an option, but saving careers of students should be the top priority.
