Indian students protest after cancellation of UGC-NET exam
Students are protesting in India after a reputed national entrance exam was scrapped just a day after 900,000 candidates sat for it. The UGC-NET exam is mandatory for admissions into PhD programs, and for securing jobs in teaching roles in government-funded universities. The education minister says the decision was taken after it became clear that the paper had been leaked. He called it an institutional failure of the National Testing Agency and vowed to fix responsibility. Ishan Garg has more from New Delhi.
