Rahul Gandhi Slams India's NTA After Student Assigned Abu Dhabi Center for NEET Re-Exam

Times of India—Indian opposition leader Rahul Gandhi sharply criticized the National Testing Agency after a student from Nagpur was assigned an exam center in Abu Dhabi for the NEET medical-entrance re-examination, calling the error emblematic of a broader failure to protect students from administrative chaos. Gandhi urged the government to ensure the re-exam, scheduled for Sunday, proceeds without technical glitches, saying students 'have been through enough stress.' The NEET re-exam was ordered after allegations of widespread paper leaks and irregularities in the original sitting earlier in the year. The NTA has not commented on the Abu Dhabi assignment specifically. The controversy comes as pressure mounts on the government to overhaul India's high-stakes centralized entrance examination system.
