NDTV
Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has said there is no evidence of paper leak and claims of corruption in NTA are unfounded.
Opposition leaders have targeted the Centre over the massive row surrounding the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) -- an all-India examination for admission to medical courses -- that has triggered protests by aspirants in several parts of the country.
The DMK, which has been opposing NEET ever since it was introduced, has slammed the National Testing Agency for destroying the exam's sanctity and said the Centre was a nothing more than a "spectator" and backing coaching centres. The Congress has questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "silence" and demanded a Supreme Court-monitored probe.
Results for the medical entrance examination, which was taken by 24 lakh students on May 5, were declared on June 4, when counting of votes for the 2024 Lok Sabha election was held. In the aftermath of the results, allegations of paper leak surfaced. As many as 67 students scored the perfect score of 720/720. The cut-off has gone up exponentially, leaving many wondering if they would get a medical college seat at all.

The prime minister said the Maharashtra election also shows that only one Constitution will work in India and that was given to the people of the country by B R Ambedkar.
The Prime Minister said the Congress' outsized interest in its own welfare is a "threat to democracy".
