Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticised the centre over what he said was "ignoring genuine concerns" of students who are giving entrance exams for engineering and medical courses and other career fields. The Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) for admission to the Indian Institute of Technology began on September 1 and will end on September 6. JEE and the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) are being held to ensure that students don’t lose an academic year amid the COVID-19 crises, the centre had said. Rahul Gandhi tweeted saying the Modi government is jeopardising India's future. Gandhi added that people should be given jobs and not empty slogans. Gandhi's swipe at the government over jobs also comes at a time when the country’s economy fell to its worst on record in the April-June quarter, with the gross domestic product (GDP) contracting by 23.9 per cent. Meanwhile, India has been struggling with an unemployment problem and the coronavirus pandemic is making it even more difficult for its youngest workers to earn a decent living, shows an analysis by the London School of Economics.
