National Eligibility cum Entrance Test

The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, or NEET, appears in Cockroaches 1, Modi 0: India’s remarkable protests as the medical-school entrance exam whose leak helped give the Cockroach Movement force. The source says the leak affected more than two million exam takers and was connected by protesters to student pressure, institutional failure, and unfair access to scarce education routes.

In the wiki, NEET anchors the exam-system branch of Education Accountability Protest. It turns a broad youth mood into a concrete administrative failure: when high-stakes exams are treated as the narrow path to mobility, leaks become political accountability events rather than only testing irregularities.
