Bengaluru: The Karnataka government on Saturday reiterated its demand before the Centre to scrap the NEET-UG examination from the academic year 2026 onwards and restore the powers of states to conduct their own transparent and merit-based Common Entrance Tests.
Addressing a press conference here, State Medical Education Minister Sharan Prakash Patil called the recent NEET question paper leak a "grave injustice" to the entire student community, and accused the central government of "sabotaging" the futures of thousands of students who dream of becoming doctors.
