Quick answer: After NEET 2026 was hit by the paper leak controversy, refunding exam fees was not enough. CJP argues that a refund cannot compensate for lost time, coaching costs, travel, anxiety, cancelled results, or destroyed trust.
A refund is not justice. It is a receipt for failure.
What students lost
Students did not only pay an exam fee. They paid for coaching. They paid for travel. Families paid with savings, sleep, and emotional pressure. Students paid with years of preparation.
When the system collapses, returning one fee does not return the year.
Why the refund feels insulting
A refund treats the issue like a transaction. But NEET is not a movie ticket. It is a national gateway to medical education. For many students, one exam changes the direction of their life.
When that exam is compromised, the damage is not only financial. It is psychological and institutional.
CJP’s position
CJP believes accountability must go beyond refunds. Students need transparency, investigation, reform, and responsibility at the top. If the exam system fails, the answer cannot be “take your money back and move on.”
The cockroach record
They leaked the paper. They cancelled results. They opened refund portals. They asked students to accept it.
CJP refuses that logic.
The cockroach remembers the cost that no refund can cover: the cost of trust.
