The protest demonstration led by MPCC vice-president T Mangibabu, MPYCC president Mahananda Nungleppam and NSUI State unit president P Bankimchandra was participated by many Congress workers.

Speaking to media persons by the sideline of the protest demonstration, Bankimchandra said they strongly condemn the BJP Government's attempt to hold NEET and JEE in the midst of the untold misery caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

He appealed to the Central Government to hold NEET, JEE and other such exams when the COVID-19 pandemic is contained to a manageable level and there is a guarantee that students appearing in these exams would be safe.

He went on to ask if the Government would be able to take responsibility in case any student is infected by the virus while appearing the exams.

The NSUI leader urged the State Government to persuade the HRD Ministry to postpone both NEET and JEE in the interest of the State.

Demanding deferment of NEET and JEE Mahananda Nungleppam questioned why students should be forced to appear the exams and expose themselves to COVID-19 when positive cases and fatality have been surging incessantly in the State and people are restricted from moving out.
