The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said the incident reflected deeper problems within the examination system. “How did this even happen? No student should have to face the issue of being unable to reach their exam centre. In reality, the NTA is merely testing the patience of the country’s students and their parents,” he said.
Gandhi further argued that an examination authority unable to allot a candidate a centre in their own city lacked the credibility to conduct national-level examinations. “A system that cannot provide a student with a centre in their own city โ and instead assigns one abroad โ has no right to conduct examinations,” he said.
Referring to his recent interaction with students in Kota, Rajasthan, Gandhi reiterated his criticism of the country’s education system. “This is exactly what I said in Kota: this is no longer an education system. It is the exploitation of an entire generation’s money, time, and mental peace,” he said. “Stop gambling with our children’s future. They deserve a sensitive, responsible, and accountable education and examination system โ and we will ensure they get it.”
