[IAC#RG] National Testing Agency

To:

The Secretary

Department of Higher Education

Sir

I refer to my visit to your Department's offices at Shastri Bhawan today morning when I was not allowed inside your buildings to meet the concerned senior officers of your Department, or in their absence yourself, concerning my complaints about blatant rigging of the IIT JEE Mains 2019 exams, and other exams, by the National Testing Agency under your protege Mr. Vineet Joshi, IAS.

I presume that you, an IAS officer, are sufficiently informed that today is a Wednesday when the morning session is set aside for senior Central Government officers, including yourself, to receive and hear the public and their grievances. You have also been required to ensure that Wednesday mornings are meetingless days when senior officers should remain inside the offices unless written permission is obtained from youirself, and also that the citizens do not need an appointment to meet their senior functionaries.

In these circumstances I would appreciate a formal reply within 48 hours communicating why the Nodal Grievance Director Mr.VLSS Subba Rao was not at his seat to meet me, Why the Addl Secy (TE)  Dr. S.S. Sandhu was not at his seat to meet me, and why your PS Ms. Krishna did not allow me to meet you, either in the pre-lunch or post lunch sessions today concerning my grievances and their shoddy disposals (in blatant contravention of the PMO's specific directives) to shield corrupt officers.

In the meantime I am putting on record that your PS Ms Krishna informed me today as follows

(1) You would not meet me today because were in a meeting,

(2) I needed an appointment to meet you on Wednesday morning and

(3) That you are no longer the Chairman of NTA's BoG but Prof M.S. Ananth is.

Since I find nothing in the public domain about Prof Ananth being the NTA Chairman, in fact the NTA website persists in sayiing you are their Chairman, I am hereby protesting the alleged appointment of Prof M S Ananth as Chairman of NTA, if at all, in this underhand / secretive manner and your evident attempt thereby to evade personal responsibility for the scams in NTA and the frauds played out on the innocent students.

Furthermiore, since all the facts are surely well known to you now, I trust that you shall do your duty to immediately suspend the results of the IIT JEE Mains exams of January and April 2019 and not allow any admissions into any Centrally Funded Institutions under youir department based directly on the scores of these tainted exams.

NB: In the interests of transparency, I am obliged to mark a copy of this email to Prof Ananth.

sincerely
