Students in Karimganj and Hailakandi Districts struggle as no CUET examination centers

The commencement of the CUTE exam has brought distress to students in Karimganj and Hailakandi districts of Barak Valley, as they lack examination centers in their respective areas. This disparity has forced many candidates to travel long distances to Silchar or even further for their exams, imposing financial burdens and risking safety due to challenging travel conditions.

 Parents and students alike have voiced their concerns, highlighting the urgent need for examination centers in Karimganj and Hailakandi to ensure equitable access to the CUTE exam and alleviate the hardships faced by future examinees.

Despite the enthusiasm surrounding the CUTE exam, the absence of examination centers in Karimganj and Hailakandi has underscored systemic inequalities in educational infrastructure, disadvantaging students from these districts.

The reliance on centralized examination centers in Silchar has exacerbated logistical challenges, leaving many candidates with limited options and imposing additional stress during an already demanding examination period. As such, there is a growing call for government intervention to address this issue and implement measures to establish examination centers in Karimganj and Hailakandi, ensuring fair access to educational opportunities for all students in the region.

In response to the outcry from students and parents, appeals have been made to the Education Minister and Chief Minister of Assam to prioritize the establishment of examination centers in Karimganj and Hailakandi.

These appeals emphasize the importance of considering the future of examinees and ensuring that no student faces similar hardships in accessing crucial examinations. Urgent action is needed to rectify this situation, underscoring the necessity of equitable distribution of educational resources to promote inclusivity and support the aspirations of all students in Barak Valley.
