Abhinav Mukund ๐ฃ๏ธ โ โI believe I don't have the credibility to become a Head Coach of any IPL franchise but I remember every IPL game and the conditions & everything around it.
So I think I can contribute in some sort of role in the coaching set-up for any franchise.โ
(Star Sports Tamil)
Two-tier CRPF+CISF escort with IAF airlift.
4-layer CCTV with AI surveillance.
Biometric & facial recognition before entry.
Multiple layers of frisking.
Multi-level oversight with direct monitoring from the Prime Ministerโs office.
Yes, you read it right. But these are not arrangements to buy high-level, classified, military-grade software. These are the arrangements made by the Ministry of Education for the NEET retest scheduled for 21st June 2026.
Every student would appreciate the government's efforts to prevent paper leaks by implementing additional security measures and enhanced monitoring. But an increase in scrutiny before entry, extended frisking, and an increase in the overall exam time from 180 minutes to 195 minutes will only add to their already ballooning exam pressure.
While the government has taken measures to contain leaks, they have forgotten the additional burden they have imposed on a young student before they take up an assessment, one that they have spent months preparing for, dissolving the entire purpose of our exam system and the NEP 2020โs goal to reduce โExam Stressโ.
Despite all these arrangements for the examination, there are issues with downloading the admit cards, and NTA has assured students that it will resolve them at the earliest.
Yes, there are challenges that demand meaningful solutions. However, I am concerned that the approach devised for the NEET retest may not resolve the issue; instead, it risks creating a new set of problems.
