JAKARTA - Female candidates who take the medical entrance exam are asked to take off their bras before the test, drawing criticism from parents who then file a police report, because they are worried about their child's mental condition.
National Entrance Eligibility Test (NEET) is India's entrance examination for admission to medical colleges. This report is related to the NEET exam in Kerala State, South India, as reported by several media, including NDTV.
It is known, students must undergo strict security checks before taking the exam, including following the dress code and not bringing jewelry, wallets, handbags, belts, to the prohibition of wearing heels.
The shocking incident came to light after the father of one of the girls complained to the local police.
According to reports, female security officers stationed at the inspection center in Kollam District told female candidates to take off their bras as metal hooks make metal detectors beep during security checks.
The students eventually took off their bras, as they were told that if they didn't comply with the conditions, they would not be allowed to take the exam.
"Is your future or your underwear big for you? Just take it off and don't waste our time," the security staff said, according to the complaint launched by a father.
The Marthoma Institute of Information Technology, where the alleged incident occurred, has denied involvement. The head of the Kollam Police, KB Ravi, admitted that a complaint from a girl's father had been received.
"After a security check, my daughter was told that the underwear hook was detected by a metal detector, so she was asked to take it off. Nearly 90 percent of the girls had to remove the inside and put it in storage. The candidate had a mental breakdown while writing the exam," added the girl's father. .
That said, some girls cried when they unlatched their bras before writing the test.
"The mental condition of these children is disturbed, and they cannot take the exam comfortably," concluded the girl's father's letter to police.
