Specifically, representatives of the United Doctors Front NEET delegation were barred from presenting before a key Parliamentary Standing Committee. Consequently, this exclusion has sparked intense debate within the medical community and political circles. Meanwhile, the committee met to discuss critical issues regarding the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET). Therefore, many experts are questioning the transparency of the examination reform process.
Indeed, the committee had formally invited the doctors' body to share their views on examination reforms. However, ruling party MPs strongly opposed their participation during the meeting. Consequently, the committee asked the five-member delegation to wait outside the meeting hall. Chairman Digvijaya Singh later expressed regret over this decision to the representatives. He explained that a majority of the panel members did not want them to attend. Nevertheless, Singh personally sat with the doctors to hear their grievances.
Although they could not participate in the main meeting, the doctors submitted a memorandum. Specifically, they demanded the dissolution of the National Testing Agency (NTA). Furthermore, they urged the creation of a new examination body through an Act of Parliament. This proposed body would remain directly accountable to Parliament. In addition, the doctors highlighted that the current NTA lacks adequate auditing mechanisms. Meanwhile, the NTA is planning to transition NEET-UG to a computer-based test format. Therefore, these proposed reforms aim to eliminate future paper leaks and malpractices.

Q2: What did the United Doctors Front demand in their memorandum?
