DPS Siliguri Stopped Me From Taking My NET Entrance in a Jumpsuit

I have written a complaint to CBSE and hope to hear from them soon.

I wanted to collect myself before I shared with you an incident of harassment I faced when I went to take the UGC NET at Delhi Public School, Siliguri. I felt too humiliated and betrayed by the system of education in our country to write anything sooner.

I have worn a particular jumpsuit to almost all the exams I have taken in the last five years. I feel comfortable and relaxed in this attire especially during summer.

DPS, Siliguri, which was my centre for the NET exam, refused me entry because they found my clothes “indecent”. I was first verbally shamed for my choice of clothes by a teacher and then I was left with only two options. I would’ve either had to change my clothes and return or I would have had to miss the exam.
