CECA issues
Allegations have erupted
across India over widespread cheating and corruption tainting the
results of the country’s fiercely competitive national medical entrance
exam.
Allegations of cheating and test leaks in the most recent
National Eligibility Cum Entrance Exam Test – Undergraduate (NEET-UG)
surfaced after the exam results, released on June 4, showed an unusually
high number of students receiving top marks, affecting the overall
benchmark for admission.
Every year, over 2 million students in
India battle it out to get one of just 110,000 available spots to study
medicine. Of the total seats available, around 60,000 are in state
universities, with the rest in private colleges.
According to
the 2024 India Employment Report published by the International Labour
Organisation and the Institute of Human Development, the share of
educated youth among the unemployed rose from 54.2 per cent in 2000 to
65.7 per cent in 2022.

In other words, unqualified students may be admitted to study medicine and become doctors. OMG, this is serious. What is more dangerous is that this could have been happening for years or even decades.
Is that the reason why medicines from India are so unreliable, with cough syrups killing babies?
