Viral ad mocks NEET fiasco, sparks online debate

Discontent over alleged irregularities in the NEET exam results has reached a boiling point. Students across the country are protesting, demanding a complete cancellation of the exam and a thorough investigation into the reported discrepancies. However, the NEET controversy has taken a sharp turn with a viral advertisement igniting further outrage among students.

Capitalizing on controversy

A newspaper advertisement for the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) has gone viral on social media platform X. The ad's message, seen as insensitive by many, reads: "Disappointed with NEET results? Think beyond NEET, IIT-JEE. Think CLAT! 5-year law from NLU's." The caption accompanying the shared ad mocks the marketing strategy, stating, "bruh? marketing koi CLAT walo sey seekhein" (translation: "one should learn marketing from CLAT guys"). With over a lakh views and thousands of likes, the ad has sparked a heated debate online.
Anger mounts over score discrepancies

The controversy began on June 4th when the National Testing Agency (NTA) released the NEET results. Following the announcement, numerous students reported discrepancies in their scores. This has led to widespread calls for cancelling the NEET UG 2024 exam. Many medical aspirants have expressed dissatisfaction with their results and demanded an investigation into the alleged irregularities.

The demand for a probe into the NEET results is gaining momentum. Students believe that only a thorough investigation can address their concerns and restore faith in the examination process. However, the authorities have yet to respond to the students' demands, leaving them anxious and frustrated. The viral ad, while highlighting alternative paths, serves as a stark reminder of the uncertain future many medical aspirants now face. For some, this could mean giving up on their lifelong dream of becoming a doctor. The students await a response from the authorities, hoping for a resolution to this controversy.
