AGARTALA: Members of SFI (Students’ Federation of India) Ramnagar Local held a commemorative gathering opposite the Police Headquarters on Tuesday evening, paying tribute to students who reportedly died by suicide, allegedly due to mental distress linked to irregularities in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET).
The event was organised as a mark of solidarity with students affected by the alleged NEET-related irregularities, with participants gathering to pay their respects.
SFI activists reiterated their demand for accountability regarding the alleged discrepancies in the conduct of the national-level entrance examination, holding it responsible for pushing affected students toward extreme psychological distress.
The exact number of students being commemorated, along with specifics of the alleged NEET irregularities being referenced, have not been detailed in the available information.
The organisation has called for greater transparency and reform in the examination process to prevent similar future incidents, though no immediate response from examination authorities has been reported.
