Srinagar, 18-May: Scores of students on Thursday expressed deep concern over the predicament faced by them as they prepare for the highly anticipated CUET Exam.
While speaking to CNS, students said that the major hurdle faced by them is the establishment of examination centres outside Kashmir valley especially at a time when domestic flight fares are at par with international rates, adding significant financial burden to their already challenging situation.
They called upon Lieutenant Governor of J&K Manoj Sinha to promptly intervene and address the issue by establishing examination centres within Kashmir itself.
“This step would ensure fair access and equitable opportunities for all Kashmiri students without the need to travel outside the region as the high flight fares have created financial strain, making it difficult for aspiring students to bear the additional costs,” they added.
They further said that by establishing exam centres in Kashmir, the administration can alleviate the financial burden and provide a level playing field for all students.
“The establishment of exam centers in Kashmir would showcase the administration’s commitment to fostering an inclusive environment that enables academic growth and empowers Kashmiri students to pursue their aspirations,” they added.
