Where Do the NEET 2022 Controversy Heads To Next?
By: Tupaki Desk | 20 July 2022 1:06 PM IST
The recently conducted medical admissions test NEET (National Eligibility and Entrance Test) will go down as one of the controversial and much-talked-about exams since its inception without any doubt. The controversy was so big that the Union government and the National Commission for Women had to intervene.
The 2022 edition of NEET gave birth to a new controversy. Many female aspirants were allegedly forced to remove their innerwear(Bra) to take the exam citing security reasons. They were left with two options- to write exams taking their innerwear or to skip the exams.
Though earlier too a few aspirants raised the same complaint, the count of students who felt they were humiliated was not this big. This time, more than 100 students alleged that they were made to remove their innerwear. The scary thing is that a few students even alleged that they were asked if their innerwear has any hooks and asked to take the innerwear in hand.
The latest development in the case is that not less than five people were arrested by the Kerala police in connection with the row allegedly. Three out of the arrested people are believed to have forced the students to remove innerwear. Going by the complaints raised by the students, the arrests were made allegedly.
If the female staff members really asked the students to take their innerwear then it is nothing short of a horrific experience. Despite knowing that there will be male invigilators and male students around, the staff asked them to take their innerwear which is an objectionable thing.
Male staff members not understanding their problems is one thing and even the female staff members failing to imagine what the girls would go through with men around in the examination hall is a big thing and this angle needs to be probed thoroughly.
Usually, we get to see the female staff and invigilators in fewer numbers at the centers and the recent controversy says that even the female staffers were deployed at the centers, they are not in a position to understand the problems of the girls. Looks like they too need some training and instructions. We have to wait and see where the NEET controversy heads to.
