NEET 考試舞弊引發衝突並要求部長辭職

Jun 23, 2026, 16:03

Introduction

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has started a continuous protest at Jantar Mantar. They are demanding that Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resign following reports of serious failures in the NEET examination process.

蟑螂人民黨 (CJP) 已在 Jantar Mantar 開始持續抗議。他們要求聯邦教育部長 Dharmendra Pradhan 辭職，因為有報告指出 NEET 考試過程出現嚴重失職。

Main Body

The current crisis began when the May 3 NEET-UG exam was cancelled. This happened after a notification on May 8 revealed that a 'guess paper' had been leaked, which was almost identical to the actual exam. Consequently, the National Testing Agency (NTA) required over two million students to take a re-examination on June 21. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has since arrested thirteen people, including three teachers who are accused of leaking the chemistry, biology, and physics papers.

目前的危機始於 5 月 3 日的 NEET-UG 考試被取消。此前 5 月 8 日的一份通知揭露有一份「預測卷」外洩，且內容與實際考卷幾乎相同。因此，國家測試局 (NTA) 要求超過兩百萬名學生在 6 月 21 日參加重新考試。中央調查局 (CBI) 隨後逮捕了 13 人，包括 3 名被指控洩露化學、生物及物理考卷的教師。

Opinions on the situation are deeply divided. Abhijeet Dipke, the leader of the CJP, asserted that the government's failure to protect the exam system led to the suicides of at least 17 students. To highlight this, the CJP organized symbolic protests and created a memorial shrine, with support from student groups like the SFI and AISA. On the other hand, Minister Pradhan emphasized that the CJP consists of disruptive political actors trying to create instability. While he admitted personal responsibility for the student deaths and agreed that the system needs reform, he claimed that the Congress party and Rahul Gandhi are exploiting the situation for political gain.

各界對此情況的看法分歧嚴重。CJP 領袖 Abhijeet Dipke 主張政府未能保護考試制度，導致至少 17 名學生自殺。為了凸顯這一點，CJP 在 SFI 和 AISA 等學生團體的支持下，組織了象徵性抗議並設立了紀念祭壇。另一方面，Pradhan 部長強調 CJP 由試圖製造不穩定情的破壞性政治人物組成。雖然他承認對學生死亡負有個人責任，並同意制度需要改革，但他聲稱國會黨和 Rahul Gandhi 正利用此情況獲取政治利益。

Furthermore, tensions have increased due to claims of police interference. Dipke claimed that the Delhi Police tried to limit the protest area and performed unauthorized ID checks, although the police have denied these claims. Meanwhile, the government maintains that the re-examination was successful and conducted under strict security to rebuild public trust.

此外，由於有警方干預的指控，緊張局勢進一步升級。Dipke 聲稱德里警方試圖限制抗議區域並進行未經授權的身份檢查，儘管警方否認了這些指控。與此同時，政府堅持認為重新考試是成功的，且在嚴格的安全措施下進行，以重建公眾信任。

Conclusion

The conflict remains unresolved as the CJP continues its protest, while the Ministry of Education focuses on fixing the system and ignoring political criticism.

由於 CJP 繼續抗議，而教育部專注於修正制度並忽略政治批評，因此衝突仍未解決。

🚀 The Jump from 'Said' to 'Asserted'

At the A2 level, you probably use said or told for everything. To reach B2, you need Reporting Verbs. These change the feeling of the sentence and tell the reader if the speaker is confident, complaining, or denying something.

Look at these shifts from the text:

The A2 way: "Dipke said the government failed." $\rightarrow$ (Neutral/Boring)
The B2 way: "Dipke asserted that the government's failure..." $\rightarrow$ (Strong, confident, and official)

🛠️ Your New Toolkit: Power Verbs

Instead of using "say," try these based on the article's context:

Asserted $\text{ (To state strongly)}$ $\rightarrow$ Use this when someone is making a firm claim.
Emphasized $\text{ (To give special importance)}$ $\rightarrow$ Use this when someone wants a specific point to be noticed.
Claimed $\text{ (To say something is true, but others might disagree)}$ $\rightarrow$ Use this for accusations (e.g., Dipke claimed that police interfered).
Denied $\text{ (To say 'no, it is not true')}$ $\rightarrow$ The opposite of a claim.

💡 The B2 Grammar Secret: "That" Clauses

Notice how these verbs connect to the rest of the sentence. We use a structure called a That-Clause:

[Person] + [Power Verb] + (that) + [Full Sentence]

Minister Pradhan emphasized that the CJP consists of disruptive actors.
The police denied that they performed unauthorized checks.

Pro Tip: In English, you can often remove the word "that" in conversation, but keep it in your writing to sound more professional and B2-certified!
