Several opposition parties including the Chief Ministers of seven states had appealed to the Central Government to postpone the JEE-NEET examination. The matter went to the Supreme Court but the examination was not postponed. The government claimed that adequate arrangements were made to protect the lives of the students, but the death of the Muzaffarpur student raised serious questions.
About two lakh students were forced to miss the JEE-Main Exam due to the Coronavirus pandemic and floods, according to the data from the Ministry of Education.
Meanwhile, more than 15 students who failed to take the JEE-NEET exam committed suicide in Tamil Nadu.
