At the centre of the political storm surrounding the irregularities in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan faced NEET slogans raised by Opposition MPs as he took oath as a member of Lok Sabha, which met today for the first time after polls. Visuals of the House proceedings show Mr Pradhan walking towards the Lok Sabha podium amid chants of "NEET" and "shame" from the Opposition benches. Protests are being held in various parts of the country after the NEET-UG exam results declared on June 4 threw up shocking discrepancies. The Centre has now ordered a CBI probe into the matter. In the midst of all this public outcry, at least three national-level competitive examinations have been scrapped or postponed. Education Ministry officials have said that the opposition is politicising an issue that is sensitive, and a matter that the government has been most mindful of. Three important steps have been taken by the centre in the last few days to bolster its claims that it is serious about the future of the students – the chief of the NTA that conducts NEET has been replaced, a high-level committee has been put in place. In fact, the ministry is saying that it is hopeful of putting in place all necessary reforms in the NTA by the end of this year. This is a localised problem, and the government is looking for far-sighted solutions, a complete crackdown on the exam mafia, says the government, even as the opposition is looking at this issue as a potential ammunition to boost its resurgent role in the parliament. How will NEET resonate in the parliament? It is the same government, same opposition, but the numbers differ. How will the opposition versus govt over NEET play out in the parliament?
