NEET Exam and the Blame Game.

 The Supreme Court declared on Tuesday that there won't be a retest for the 2024 NEET-UG exam, citing a lack of evidence to support a "systemic breach" or that the "sanctity" of the test had been compromised in light of two isolated question paper leaks.

 The bench, led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, said an order, therefore, to order a re-test for 23.33 lakh aspiring medical professionals, many of whom would travel hundreds of kilometers from hometowns to exam centers - would have "big consequences".

The opposition leader in the Lok Sabha accused the entire Indian examination system of being a scam yesterday. This claim raises serious concerns about our examination system, which is run by an Independent organization or state government.

Following independence, the British educational system was used to adapt both the curriculum and the examination system. Although many educators and leaders called for changes based on our own needs and requirements, the educational system remained unchanged.

Even after more than 75 years of freedom, we still lack a robust and impenetrable system for education and testing. Prior to the opposition party taking power ten years ago, we saw the grave problem of paper leaks.

As a young student, I believe that in order to spare millions of students from suffering, the blame game should end and the exam system should be strengthened. The Supreme Court has dismissed Re-Neet's request as of right now, putting an end to the controversies, rumors, and gossip that had been raging for a few months. For the pupils who didn't perform well, this choice may have been heartbreaking. For the pupils whose examinations went well, this decision is a relief. The NTA will provide the results in a few days, and counseling will begin

To condemn the entire test system, in my opinion, is to belittle India. If something is called a "fraud," it casts doubt on the young people who are graduating from prestigious universities like IIT and IIM with flying colors. Many kids are at the top of their class and studying abroad. They are employed by Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and numerous other companies. Mr. Satya Nadal and Mr. Sunder Pichai are two examples. The comment is demeaning to everyone who has contributed to making India proud.

While there are undoubtedly certain gaps in the examination system, this does not imply that the system as a whole is flawed. The politicians who are placing the blame likewise went through the same examination process that earlier governments created to complete their schooling. We may also question their educational background.
In certain instances, we are unaware of the precise credentials of the leaders laying blame. The university where he completed his studies is unknown to us.

We took over the British educational system, and the basis was left unaltered. What can be discovered about our first Education Minister if we study history?

Born on 11 November 1888 in Mecca, Walid's name was "Mohammad Khairuddin" and Ammi was of Medina (Arabia). Nana Sheikh Mohammad Zair Vatri was a great scholar of Madina. When this gentleman was two years old, his father came to Calcutta. Taught everything at home and never went to school or college. He was also awarded "Bharat Ratna" after his death. He was so capable that he never saw the face of a school, college, or university, and he was made India's first Union Minister of Education. The name of this man was "Maulana Abul Kalam Azad".

We had highly educated statesmen such as Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, but we were led to believe that Abdul Kalam Azad would be a better choice to serve as Free India's Education Minister for ten years.

"If you point one finger at others, they have four fingers pointing at you" is the lesson.

Jai Hind!
