Both the ruling LDF and the opposition Congress-led UDF expressed concern over the recent irregularities reported in the NEET-UG and UGC-NET exams. They questioned the credibility and competence of the NTA in conducting these crucial entrance tests, highlighting the impact on the candidates’ confidence and future prospects.

The issue was raised in the House by LDF MLA M Vijin who alleged that the Central government was responsible for the irregularities in the NEET exam.He also claimed that the NEET results were announced on June 4, the same day as the Lok Sabha poll results, to divert attention from the outcome of the entrance test.

The issue raised by him was backed by the UDF which too blamed the Centre for the irregularities in the entrance tests.

Subsequently, state Higher Education Minister R Bindu moved a resolution condemning the manner in which the NTA was functioning and the support given to it by the Centre and demanding that the central government take urgent measures to address the grievances of affected students and candidates who took the NEET and NET exams.
The resolution was unanimously passed by the House.

The LDF government said that such a resolution could be moved later. During the discussion, Congress MLA Mathew Kuzhalnadan alleged that there have been irregularities in PSC exams in Kerala and urged the state government to learn from these incidents to prevent them in the future.
