A Call for Change: In-State Exam Centres to Ease Student Burden

Political parties are pushing for exam centres to be assigned within states to reduce travel burdens on students. This demand aligns with concerns about accessibility and logistical challenges faced by candidates, especially in rural areas. Current exam systems, such as GAT-B and NEET, allocate centres based on candidate preferences but often across multiple states. Parties argue that in-state assignments would enhance convenience and fairness, ensuring that students can focus on their exams without additional stress.
