Bengaluru exam hall janue row escalates

A controversy erupted during the Common Entrance Test (CET) held in Bengaluru, when several students complained they were forced to remove their Janeu (sacred thread) before entering the examination hall. The incident occurred at Kripanidhi College in Madivala, where students were told they would not be allowed to appear for the exam if they did not comply with the demand. The demand has drawn criticism for infringing on religious practices and has escalated into a broader public debate.
