NEET girl aspirants who appeared for the medical entrance examination(NEET) on July 17, 2022, at a private institution in Kollam district, Kerala faced humiliation. Girls were compelled to remove innerwear for writing the Exam.
A father of a 17-year-old girl alleged that his daughter is yet to come out of the distressing episode. She was compelled to remove innerwear for writing the exam for three hours without a brassiere, he told a TV Channel.
Responding to the assertion, Kerala Higher Education Minister R Bindu clarified that state-run agencies had no role in this. For this exam, organizers came from outside.
The Human Rights Violation on the part of the organizers was not acceptable.
This incident will surely be reported to the Centre and the National Testing Agency (NTA)- the authority in charge of the conduct of this exam, the minister assured.
In the wake of this incident, several political parties held marches against the college.
A succession of Events( compelled to remove innerwear)
An agonized father reported that their daughter is compelled to remove innerwear for writing the exam and the whole incident to the TV News channel. He said-
On July 17, he returned after leaving their young daughter for the exam. Then he received a call displaying “Information Technology”. He along with his wife rushed to the center to know the situation. On reaching the place, they saw their daughter in tears as she along with other girls were being compelled to remove innerwear for writing the Exam. “My 17-Year-old daughter told me that the authorities told them to either remove their bras or write the exam,” shared the father.
“There were two rooms where undergarments of young women and girls were stacked on top of each other in violation of COVID-19 protocols. Those writing the exams are between the age groups of 17 to 23. Imagine how uncomfortable it would be for them to concentrate during the exam when surrounded by male students as well,” the anguished father said.
