Press Statement
 
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
 
Reschedule JEE-NEET Examinations
 
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) is firmly opposing the move to unilaterally
push the conduct of JEE-NEET examinations for admission to professional
courses across the country. What is most outrageous is the insensitivity to
hold these examinations in the physical mode across the country at a time
when the pandemic is surging both in the number of infections, as well as,
the mounting counts of deaths.  The concern about starting the academic
session in these institutions for the sake of the future of the students and
those courses is valid and understandable.  However, the present situation
is  grossly premature for undertaking such a venture.  It completely
undermines the health concern for almost a million of some of the brightest
of our youth.
 
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) urges the government to  hold the
examinations in abeyance till some control over the spread of the infection
is achieved. The entrance examinations must be rescheduled in a manner
whereby the students are protected from losing the academic year.
