EFLU students rally in support of Delhi protesters, Demand Accountability Over Alleged NEET-UG 2026 Paper Leak
The EFLU Students Rally in Support of Delhi Protesters was held on Friday, July 24, as students of the English and Foreign Languages University (EFLU) in Hyderabad expressed solidarity with the ongoing student movement at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. The gathering was organised by the EFLU Students’ Union to support students protesting over the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak and alleged irregularities in the CBSE’s on-screen evaluation process.
The rally brought together representatives from several student organisations, who voiced concern over recent police action against demonstrators in Delhi and called for accountability in the education system.
EFLU Students Rally in Support of Delhi Protesters
The EFLU Students Rally in Support of Delhi Protesters was presided over by EFLU Students’ Union President Harshad Shibin. The event witnessed participation from student leaders and activists representing various organisations on campus.
Among those who addressed the gathering were Union Vice President Sonu Raj, Joint Secretary Haleemathu Sa’adiya, Sports Secretary Udita Purkait, and representatives from the Fraternity Movement, Muslim Students Federation (MSF), National Students’ Union of India (NSUI), Disha, and the Students’ Federation of India (SFI).
The speakers expressed support for students protesting in the national capital and urged authorities to ensure transparency and fairness in public examinations.
Protest Linked to Jantar Mantar Demonstration
The solidarity event in Hyderabad was organised in support of the ongoing protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. The demonstration, which has been continuing since early June under the banner of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and several other organisations, has attracted students and activists from different parts of the country.
The protesters are demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over allegations relating to the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak and claimed irregularities in the CBSE’s on-screen marking process.
These allegations remain matters of public and political debate, and the government has responded with various measures regarding examination security.
Student Leaders Condemn Police Action
During the EFLU Students Rally in Support of Delhi Protesters, speakers also criticised the recent police action against demonstrators in Delhi.
According to the organisers, authorities used tear gas and conducted a baton charge on Monday night when protesters attempted to march towards Parliament. Student organisations described the action as excessive and expressed solidarity with those who were affected during the protest.
The incident has prompted student groups in several cities to organise solidarity gatherings, with Hyderabad becoming one of the latest locations to witness such demonstrations.
Multiple Student Organisations Participate
The gathering highlighted unity among various student organisations despite their different backgrounds and affiliations.
Representatives from the Fraternity Movement, MSF, NSUI, Disha, and SFI joined the EFLU Students’ Union in calling for what they described as greater transparency in examination systems and respect for the democratic right to peaceful protest.
Speakers urged students across the country to remain engaged with issues affecting higher education and competitive examinations.
Conclusion
The EFLU Students Rally in Support of Delhi Protesters reflected growing student solidarity over the ongoing demonstrations related to the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak and examination-related concerns. While protesters continue to demand accountability and reforms, the legal and administrative processes surrounding these issues are ongoing. The Hyderabad gathering added to a series of solidarity events being held across India, highlighting the continued attention the matter is receiving from student communities.
