The speaker criticizes the current education system in India, particularly the NEET exam, and suggests reforms. They mention the military nursing service exam as an alternative and share their experience of reforming the exam process and taking it to the Supreme Court.
“I think that only knowledge, based on knowledge, should not be used in our exams.”
You must have never heard of the Arm Forces exam being taken by a paper league. Why is that? Tell me, why is it not done there but here? Because the aim of our exam is to teach the country from the Arm Forces. This is why we put so much burden on the children. Children are taught only one objective and it is not the children's fault. This is our ecosystem. I think, this is my perception, that there should be reforms in the ecosystem. What is being told to the children? Read the physics, chemistry, bio and give the NEET exam. Why? I will give you a small example. Did you see Covid? What was the role of doctors? Was the role of doctors just to treat patients? No. For the first time, the doctor saw in a high-octane scenario, in an adverse scenario, the first time, that no one knew what was going to happen the next day, how many deaths were going to happen. Does the doctor know about crisis management? I think that only knowledge, based on knowledge, should not be used in our exams. There should be some changes in the exam process. And I have sent a letter to the Minister of Education with the entire blueprint of that. I do not believe in propagating. I have done exam reforms. I went to the Supreme Court in 2019. I want to tell you that there is a military nursing service exam. The score in NEET is below 350. Those students get a chance. You must have seen the military in the uniform of the beach-colored uniform of the command hospital, station, and Medicare center. You know that from 2015, the children of BIO, when we used to go to India, if you go to your village, UP, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, you will go to Uttarakhand, then the children think that what is there for BIO people, then there is only NEET for BIO people, they say that if I want to go to the army, then what is there, then I told them that after reforming with my team from 2015, they were told that there is an exam in military nursing service, its reform went to the Supreme Court, but I never propagated it.
