Student body demands to provide exam center for the CSIR NET Exam at Kozhikode
Kozhikode district committee of Fraternity Movement has started an online campaign demanding that CSIR provide the examination center for the CSIR NET exam in Kozhikode. CSIR NET exam is held for determining the eligibility of the candidate for lectureship and awarding Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) in science streams. According to the Fraternity, the number of aspirants from Kerala are increasing and Malabar region stands out as it covers more than 50% of Kerala's total population and has universities with the highest number of students intake. "In the present scenario, candidates from Malabar region face extreme hardship relying on centers in Cochin and Trivandrum allocated in Kerala, though there is a sizable number of candidates from Malabar compared to other parts of Kerala," an online petition filed by the organisation says. "Geographically and historically, the Malabar region in Kerala has been neglected in various fronts, including education and its delivery. For CSIR NET exam, both the centres have been allocated in South Kerala and thousands of students from the Northern Kerala are compelled to travel for the exams to Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram," says Fraternity district president Raheem K. "This is a case of complete regional in-balance and it continues. We demand that the CSIR must allocate a centre in Kozhikode for the next edition of the exam," he added. "Currently, Kozhikode, which has emerged as a technological hub, has all the facilities and educational institutions to host all the major competitive exams," he said. Of the total 27 centers, CSIR allocated two centers in Kerala, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram.
