Goa woman not allowed to appear for NET while wearing hijab
A 24-year-old woman on Thursday said officials conducting the National Eligibility Test in Goa didn't let her appear for the examination after she refused to take off her hijab. However, citing University Grants Commission guidelines, an official said, "Not just hijab, even mangalsutra...is not allowed in the examination centre to prevent cheating and also from the security point of view."
