Telegram NEET plug: App block ‘band-aid solution’, not enough to curb exam fraud, say critics
The Centre on Tuesday blocked messaging app Telegram in India till June 22 amid rumours of paper leaks in the run-up to the June 21 NEET-UG medical entrance retest.
The May 3 NEET, which 22 lakh students had taken, was cancelled following a paper leak, with some question setters in custody.
Google has removed Telegram from Play Store in compliance with the government order. Apple is likely to follow suit, sources said.
