Former BJP leader K Annamalai has questioned the high security measures adopted by the Centre for the upcoming NEET UG re-test, stating that they would only add to the pressure on candidates.
In a post on X, Annamalai expressed concerns over the measures, which include a two-tier CRPF CISF escort, IAF airlift, 4-layer CCTV with AI surveillance, biometric and facial recognition, multiple layers of frisking, and multi-level oversight with direct monitoring from the prime minister's office.
Aannamalai argued that while students would appreciate orders to prevent paper leaks, the added security for an exam that lasts for three hours would only add to the already ballooning exam pressure.
He also flagged the issues candidates are facing while trying to download their NEET UG admit cards for the re-test.
