Students across Mumbai said the cancellation of NEET-UG following alleged paper leaks has disrupted preparation schedules and increased mental stress. Aspirants who had already appeared for board exams, CET and CUET now face another round of preparation for the medical entrance test.

Mumbai: As the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET-UG) held on May 3, stands discarded following allegations of paper leaks, the students have been left anxious and emotionally exhausted with a re-examination in sight.

"No Break Since Board Exams," Laments Student

“This is the month where CUET and CET exams are also scheduled. I am appearing for all of them, just when I was a bit relieved that I am done with at least one exam, this news has hit. I have not been able to take a single day off since the board exams got over, because of consistent studying. At least a one week break in May would have given us some relief,” said a student from Santacruz.

“The students spend years studying for the exams, the exam organisers could in the least be careful to have unnecessary exams. My exam went well in the first attempt, now I am worried that the paper will be tough in the second attempt and whether I will be able to perform equally well,” said Atharva Desai, a student from Kandivali.
