NEET Irregularities: Youth Congress Takes Protest to the Streets Through Rap<\/h1>\n

BENGALURU, Sept. 4:<\/strong> Raising concerns over alleged irregularities in the NEET examination, failures in the testing system and what it described as the Centre\u2019s neglect of education-related issues, the Indian Youth Congress organised a NEET Anti-Rap Song Competition and Street Assembly<\/em> at Freedom Park in Bengaluru on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u2018Chhatron Ki Goonj\u2019 gives students a musical platform<\/em><\/h3>\n

Held as part of the \u2018Chhatron Ki Goonj\u2019<\/em> campaign, the event drew thousands of students and young people, who used rap music to voice their concerns over alleged irregularities in NEET, confusion in the examination system and limited opportunities in medical education.<\/p>\n

Unlike conventional protests, the programme used rap, a form of music popular among young people, as a medium of expression. The lyrics performed during the competition went beyond entertainment, highlighting concerns over transparency in examinations, equal opportunities, students\u2019 future and accountability in the education system.<\/p>\n

Karnataka Pradesh Youth Congress president H.S. Manjunath<\/strong> said NEET is a crucial gateway for millions of students aspiring to become doctors and that every stage of the examination must be transparent and trustworthy.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents\u2019 futures should not become victims of any malpractice, confusion or failure in the system. Asking questions, seeking answers and raising one\u2019s voice for a fair system is the right of every citizen, including students,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Manjunath said the Youth Congress would continue organising public awareness programmes to press the Centre to improve transparency in the conduct of NEET and other competitive examinations, prioritise students\u2019 interests and restore confidence in the examination system.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving understood the pulse of the country\u2019s youth, the Youth Congress is continuing this fight in the language of young people themselves,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Prizes were presented to competition winners M.C. James, Rancho and Shagufta 2.0<\/strong>. Indian Youth Congress secretary Nagesh Kariyappa<\/strong> and other Youth Congress office-bearers were also present.<\/p>\n
