The Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) Mains 2022 is scheduled to start tomorrow, June 23. Aspirants who are set to appear for the engineering entrance exam this year are demanding a further postponement due to the protests against the union government’s Agnipath scheme. Many have flooded social media platforms expressing discontent by using the hashtag #PostponeJEEMain2022 and are tagging the Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and NTA to make their voices heard.
Protests have erupted in Bihar, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Telangana against the newly introduced Agnipath scheme. In addition, the farmer’s body, Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) announced a nationwide protest against the scheme on June 24.
Students are also demanding a delay in the JEE Main 2022 considering the devastating floods in Assam that have affected lakhs of people there. Due to these reasons, many fear that the situation isn’t safe for them to reach the examination centre and appear for JEE Main 2022.
One of the Twitter users wrote, “If the protests continue, all exams should at least be postponed to ensure students are not injured. The situation is real bad as of now, public transport is being damaged, roads are jam packed. What would the common man do in case!” while tagging Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
