“Let me state at the outset that the concerns of our students are our foremost priority, and they deserve to be heard with empathy and respect. At the same time, prolonged agitation exacts its heaviest price from the students themselves — in lost academic time, disrupted preparation and avoidable stress. This price is all the more unnecessary when the Government stands committed to resolving the issue and has already conducted the recent NEET examination in a transparent and error-free manner. I would, therefore, earnestly appeal to you to counsel our students — with patience, sensitivity and care for their future — to remain focused on their academic pursuits and not to allow their energies to be diverted by calls to protest,” Prof Pathak stated in his letter.
