Raghav Chadha, Rajya Sabha MP, on Thursday defended his silence on the NEET paper leak, saying he waited until the government had a solution. Speaking during the debate on the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, Chadha said his role changed from asking questions in opposition to providing solutions from the treasury benches. He praised the government’s investigation and said a chargesheet was filed in 75 days. The Hindu, in an opinion piece, argues that the NEET debate is bigger than exam integrity. Citing a Tamil Nadu government committee report, it says NEET is biased against rural and poor students, promotes rote coaching, and reduced diversity. The piece contends that revamping the National Testing Agency will not address fundamental flaws in the exam’s design and purpose.
