Burqa-clad candidate at NEET-UG re-examination centre in Ajmer refused to remove burqa on 2026-06-21

A burqa-wearing candidate at a NEET-UG re-examination centre in Ajmer, Rajasthan, on Sunday 2026-06-21 alleged that she was prevented from entering the examination venue unless she removed her burqa and dupatta. The candidate, Kulsum Bano, who had travelled from Beawar to appear for the medical entrance test, claimed she was wearing the same attire as during her previous attempt on May 3. "I have come from Beawar to take the NEET exam. When I took the exam on May 3rd, I was in the same attire then as I am now: wearing a burqa and a dupatta," she said.

Bano alleged that she was first asked to remove her dupatta to enter the centre, but officials later insisted that she also remove her burqa.

"Initially, they said I would have to remove the dupatta to enter; then they insisted I had to remove the burqa as well. If the NTA has permitted us, these people cannot stop us," she said.

Carrot N Stick 

15 yrs old daughter pedals 1200 kms over 7 days from Gurugram to Darbhanga, carrying her injured and jobless father as the pillion rider

Jyoti Kumari is a 15 year old girl from Bihar who carried her wounded father from GURUGRAM (Gurgaon) to their home village in DARBANGHA district (Bihar) on her bicycle covering 1200 kms over 7 days during the lockdown in May 2020.

Kicked out by his employer during the lockdown, the daughter Jyoti pedalled back home with her father riding pillion. After this crazy feat of endurance and love the Cycling Federation of India, an academy, under the aegis of Sports Authority of India, is looking into the possibility of training her to  be a world-class cyclist.

The young girl deserves the 'carrot' in 'Carrot N Stick'.
