#Dire picture of NEET & KEAM
The assertion that the NEET examination question paper has not leaked according to the National Testing Agency (NTA) is a crucial reassurance of the exam's integrity. However, the claim by a coaching centre in Pala that 7 out of 8 top ranks in KEAM.are from their students raises alarming concerns about the fairness and accessibility of such exams.
If true, it suggests a troubling disparity: those who can afford expensive coaching might gain an unfair advantage, potentially through leaked question papers, while economically disadvantaged students, who lack such resources, are left to face their fate. This situation not only undermines the meritocratic principle of competitive exams but also perpetuates socio-economic inequalities in access to education and opportunities.
The issue extends beyond NEET and affects exams like KEAM, crucial for millions of aspiring students across India. The implication that coaching centres may engage in illicit practices, including accessing leaked question keys through financial means, paints a dire picture of educational inequality. For millions of economically disadvantaged individuals, these exams are not merely academic challenges but gateways to higher education and better futures.
Therefore, allowing such practices to persist threatens to disenfranchise those who are already marginalized, reinforcing a cycle where economic privilege, rather than merit, determines success. Addressing this demands rigorous enforcement of exam integrity measures, equitable access to preparatory resources, and a commitment to leveling the playing field for all aspiring students in India.
