The SFI protested the cancellation of the UGC-NET examination and demanded the dissolution of the NTA, the resignation of the Education Minister on moral grounds and an independent investigation by a sitting Judge of the Supreme Court. SFI state secretary Dinit Denta said irregularities in NEET results were unresolved and now irregularities in the UGC-NET exam had emerged and both these exams were conducted by the NTA.
