Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

 

Entrance Exam Scams

HRD Minister Must Resign

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) is deeply
anguished over the sinister developments which have engulfed the centralised
all India examination processes. Be it NEET-UG, UGC-NET and now NEET-PG
which has been postponed indefinitely in anticipation of what obviously was
waiting to happen. The combined impact of this are irregularities and
complete collapse of the processes which affects vital sectors of higher
education in the country. 

 

This is not merely the result of corruption which is prima facie
established. This has emerged from centralisation, commercialisation and
communalisation in the education sphere and which is an essential ingredient
of the National Education Policy. The new government summoning the services
of the CBI to investigate these scams confirms its approach to whitewash,
like it did with the Vyapam scam. These reflect the complete collapse of the
policy prescriptions in higher education for which the entire government is
accountable, particularly the HRD Minister. He must resign

 

The Polit Bureau demands that in a country as big and as diverse as India
the centralisation of governance of higher education should be reversed and
the first step should be to scrap the centralised NEET exams. Every state
should be allowed their own separate procedures for conducting admission
tests to regulate entry into professional educational institutions.
