Ms Chaturvedi questioned the fairness process of the examination and the evaluation process of answer sheets. “Concerns have also been raised in the irregularities in awarding marks, with an unprecedented 67 candidates achieving a perfect score of 720/720, including six toppers from the same exam center in Haryana.

Raising eyebrows on the accountability of the ruling government and the testing agency that failed to address the queries of the lakhs of aspirants, she doubts the neutrality of the committee formed by the NTA, which is headed by the chairman of NTA. She demanded the inquiry into the matter just as in Bihar, where EoU is conducting an investigation that resulted in the arrest of brokers allegedly extorting 30-50 lakhs.
The Shiv Sena MP urged the ministry to conduct an independent, transparent, and time-bound investigation through an agency such as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to uncover the malpractices and ensure accountability.
Rajya Sabha MP demanded stern action on behalf of the students who struggle immensely to fulfill their dreams but fail by the system that is allegedly broken.
