New Delhi:
Using a spin on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s month-to-month tackle to the nation, Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi at this time urged the Central authorities to listen to “students ke mann ki baat” and postpone the JEE and the NEET – widespread entrance exams for admission to IITs and medical programs – in view of the coronavirus pandemic.
“Government of India must listen to the #StudentsKeMannKiBaat about NEET, JEE exams and arrive at an acceptable solution,” Rahul Gandhi tweeted a day earlier than the matter is posted to be heard within the Supreme Court.
आज हमारे लाखों छात्र सरकार से कुछ कह रहे हैं। NEET, JEE परीक्षा के बारे में उनकी बात सुनी जानी चाहिए और सरकार को एक सार्थक हल निकालना चाहिए।
GOI should take heed to the #StudentsKeMannKiBaat about NEET, JEE exams and arrive at a suitable resolution.

Mr Gandhi got here out in help of the favored demand a day earlier than the Supreme Court is ready to listen to a petition by mother and father for deferring the exams.
The Congress chief’s tweet comes hours after Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia additionally urged the Centre to rethink the choice and “make alternate arrangement”.
However, sources recommend that the Central authorities plans to go forward with the exams – for which lakhs of scholars seem nationwide – as per schedule as admit playing cards have already been issued and majority college students have downloaded them, sources mentioned.
The high courtroom has already dismissed one other petition by college students to defer JEE and NEET exams saying, “The careers of students cannot be put under jeopardy. Life cannot be stopped…Covid may continue for a year more. Are you going to wait another year?”
The JEE (Main) examination is scheduled to be held between September 1 and September 6. The NEET examination has been penciled in for September 13.
