23.33 lakh students.
1.09 lakh seats.
21 dreamers fighting for every single chair.
Now imagine you're one of them. You've studied 14 hours a day. For two years. Maybe three.
And then… the paper leaks.
On Thursday, members of the Progressive Democratic Students Organisation (PDSO) gathered near the Gandhi statue at GVMC in Vizag.
Their demand was simple but explosive:
👉 Scrap NEET.
👉 Hand medical admissions back to the States.
👉 And while you're at it — Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan should resign.
This isn't just one protest in one city.
It's a pressure cooker that's been hissing for two years straight.
District secretary V. Lakshmi didn't mince words. She laid out a brutal scoreboard:
Read that last line again.
Ninety-three young people. Gone.
Remember 2024? That was the year NEET-UG cracked open in public.
Paper leaks. Grace marks. A re-exam ordered by the NTA. Protests on the streets of Delhi, Patna, Hyderabad.
Two years later — the wound hasn't healed. It's infected.
PDSO says the entire model is broken:
Three exams. One verdict from the protesters: psychological warfare on teenagers.
It's not just abolish and walk away.
PDSO laid out a real wishlist:
The logic? Wider doors. Less bottleneck. Less desperation.
Fewer kids staking their entire future on one exam, one day, one OMR sheet.
NEET was supposed to be the great equaliser.
One exam. One standard. Fair shot for every student.
But somewhere between the leaks, the coaching mafia, and the suicide notes — that promise quietly died.
And now a generation is asking a question India can no longer dodge.
Who is this system actually serving?
The answer is starting to feel uncomfortable.
Visakhapatnam is just the latest city to say it out loud.
That's all for now!
