Students told to fete ‘NEET Champions’

Union education ministry sent emails to central university students asking them to congratulate NEET-UG 2026 qualifiers by sharing posters.

Emails feature posters of NEET-UG 2026 qualifiers from rural and economically disadvantaged groups with their personal journeys.

Students and teachers questioned the timing, calling it systemic propaganda amid ongoing protests over NEET-UG 2026 paper leaks.

Emails were sent via the ministry’s Samarth e-governance platform with subject line: “Let’s Join in Congratulating our NEET Champions”.

Students at Delhi University, JNU, and Jamia reported receiving emails, describing them as unprecedented and a misuse of student data.
