CBSE admits answer sheets were mixed up amid portal chaos. If one student got the wrong copies, how can the board guarantee all 17 lakh Class 12 evaluations are correct? Is a retest now entering the conversation?

Students & parents: Reply with your experience. #CBSE

[IndiaToday @IndiaToday]

#CBSE’s re-evaluation chaos is raising the big question. Is a Class 12 retest now in the reckoning? Portal crashes, blurred answer sheets, and payment glitches have left students demanding answers.

NEET isn’t just an exam. It’s middle-class India’s biggest obsession. Behind every leaked paper and Rs 30-lakh deal is one sentence: “Mera beta doctor banega.”

Did the scam begin long before the paper leaked?

No books, still told to start teaching.

Extremely disappointed by @virgio_official and @shadowfax_in . Faced unprofessional conduct, threatening behaviour, and zero resolution despite repeated complaints. Order has been marked “returned” without consent.

Escalating legally.

Are you seeing this around you?
Parents losing jobs late in their careers. Children barely starting out, suddenly becoming the family’s financial support.

This isn’t an exception, it’s a trend.

Gen Z is bringing back “grandma hobbies.”Crochet. Baking. Gardening. Bird-watching.

Are we witnessing the death of hustle culture or the rise of slow living?

[IndiaToday @IndiaToday]

Safe career or crochet hook? From knitting to pottery, Gen Z is embracing “grandma hobbies” over traditional jobs. Experts say this reflects a growing wave of anti-career energy among young workers.

@makemytripcare @makemytrip And it gets even better. After six hours of trying, someone finally answered the call, only to tell me that @makemytrip or @makemytripcare doesn’t even have a provision for an executive who can resolve queries.

Truly beyond pathetic.

[Deebashree Mohanty @DeebashreeM]

Hi @makemytrip , @makemytripcare dealing with a complex Middle East booking and your AI agent isn’t helping. Could someone from customer care please call? It’s surprisingly hard to reach a real person on your end, even though your team seems able to reach us anytime.

[Deebashree Mohanty @DeebashreeM]

@makemytripcare Despite repeated reminders that this is urgent, there is no response from @makemytrip or @makemytripcare. And how quick their executives call you when they want you to buy something #pathetic

Cleared NEET UG years ago but can’t manage even 0% in PG, and still eligible?

This isn’t about cut-offs. It’s about competency in a profession where mistakes cost lives. #NEETPG

Boards started today. But the real paper isn’t in the exam hall, it’s CBSE’s rulebook. Too many rules, too little clarity, and an entire batch left decoding policy under pressure.

TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant; Billion-dollar companies. But entry-level salaries stuck in the past.
