The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test meant for aspirants seeking admissions in medical colleges held on May 3 was cancelled following allegations of irregularities in the examination process, triggering huge protests from several quarters across the country. The government has announced a re-test on June 21. "A paper of NEET exam may get leaked, but in Army, paper leak doesn't happen, and paper leak doesn't happen happen in the Air Force. And, we we have devised systems which are absolutely fair, you can't have a fairer system than that," Gen Singh said. The former chief of the Army underlined that competitive exams are conducted in the domain of armed forces too, and for these competitive exams, even papers are checked in a different way. "It is a very fair system. You will not get anything fairer than this. And, everything is fair in the armed forces," he asserted. The Mizoram governor said there are many things that are talked about, but if you want to see "fairness, discipline, motivation, and a will to work for one's nation, then other than the military, it will be difficult to find it elsewhere". The session was hosted as part of the day-long event 'Sena Samwad' hosted by 'Uniform Unveiled'. Bihar Governor Lt Gen Syed Ata Hasnain was present on the dais during the session. The Mizoram governor also spoke about the trust between a jawan and an officer. "A solider knows that an officer won't issue an order that he himself cannot do.
