Guwahati, May 3: Ahead of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) scheduled for Sunday, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma reviewed the final preparations, emphasizing stringent measures to uphold the integrity of the examination process. In a statement on his social media platform, Sarma announced, “Reviewed last minute preparations before tomorrow’s NEET 2025 exams. We are enforcing strict measures this time to ensure no malpractice and selection of only deserving candidates in this exam. Special teams headed by senior officials have been dispatched to all districts.”
This year, the Assam government has made a notable shift, deciding to conduct NEET solely in government schools, a move Sarma noted was greenlit by Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The Chief Minister expressed concerns over holding the entrance exam in private institutions, highlighting the potential risks of irregularities affecting the exam’s integrity. “Comprehensive verification including fraudulent candidates, Aadhaar, biometric authentication shall be implemented. While not discrediting previous NEET selections, we aim to ensure enhanced scrutiny this year,” he asserted.
To bolster security and fairness in the examination process, Sarma instructed district administrations and police, including District Commissioners and Superintendents of Police (SPs), to establish rigorous surveillance measures. This initiative aims to create an equitable environment for meritorious students, ensuring that their qualifications are accurately assessed.
Earlier, the Assam cabinet resolved to petition the central government for exclusive allocation of NEET centers in government-run institutions, reinforcing the commitment to transparency in the examination process. As the state gears up for NEET 2025, Sarma’s administration is focused on delivering a fair and orderly examination experience, reassuring candidates and their families alike that substantial efforts are underway to prevent malpractice and ensure a level playing field.
The Chief Minister’s proactive approach and advocacy for transparency reflect a broader goal: to foster trust in the educational assessment system in Assam. With a clear plan in place and commitment from local authorities, the state is positioned to navigate the challenges that NEET presents, all while focusing on the best interests of aspiring medical students.
