Female Students Forced To Remove ‘inner wears’ Before Entering Exam Hall

Several female students at the National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEETU-UG 2022) were reportedly asked to remove their ‘inner wears’ during the body search at the exams center.

This disgusting incident happened at a NEET exam center in Kerala’s Marthoma Institute of Information Technology. The authorities have allegedly asked around 100 girls to remove their innerwear before taking the exam. Many students claimed that the authorities dumped their undergarments in cartons.

The Institute denied the allegations and they say the inspection and biometric checking were done by external agencies. Parents filed a complaint about the incident with the Kottarakka Deputy Superintendent Police.

In one of those complaints, a parent revealed that their daughter was asked by the authorities,’ Is your future or innerwear big for you? Just remove it and don’t waste our time. The parent further said that after a security check his daughter was told that the hook of the innerwear was detected by the metal detector, so was asked to remove it. Also, 90 percent of female students had to remove their inners and keep them in a storeroom.

Earlier too, there was a similar case reported in Kannur of Kerala, back in 2017. A girl was wearing a bra with a steel buckle that caused the metal detector to beep and was allegedly asked to remove her underwear 10 minutes before the exam.
