Dimapur, May 14 (MExN): The Ao Students’ Union Dimapur (ASUD) has expressed deep concern over recent reports and allegations surrounding irregularities and question paper leaks in the NEET-UG examination process.
In a press release, the union stated that NEET is one of the most competitive examinations in the country and many students from Nagaland dedicate years of hard work, sacrifice, and discipline in pursuit of a medical career.
“For many families, particularly from marginalised and remote regions, success in such examinations represents not only personal achievement, but the hope of social mobility, economic stability, and service to the community,” the union stated.
ASUD said that any compromise to the integrity and transparency of the examination process was “profoundly disturbing” and undermined the trust and confidence of honest students who prepare under challenging circumstances, often with limited access to coaching facilities, educational infrastructure, and resources available elsewhere in the country.
The union maintained that merit must never be overshadowed by corruption, manipulation, or systemic negligence. It urged the concerned authorities, including the National Testing Agency and investigative agencies, to conduct a thorough, transparent, and impartial inquiry into the matter and ensure that those found responsible are held accountable under the law.
ASUD also appealed to the authorities to safeguard the interests of genuine aspirants and ensure that future examinations are conducted with the highest standards of fairness, accountability, and credibility.
“At a time when students are already burdened with immense academic pressure and uncertainty, institutions entrusted with their future must uphold integrity with utmost seriousness and responsibility,” the union added.
