SFI’s central executive committee cites irregularities in the NEET exam and postponement of the NET exam as grievances. They demand the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Prasad and seek to abolish the National Testing Agency (NTA). A spokesperson from SFI in Hyderabad expressed dissatisfaction with the government’s response, highlighting unaddressed student concerns and doubts.
