The SSC protests of July and August 2025 have revealed a shocking truth – the real victims are the students, while the teachers who were supposed to lead the fight have turned the movement into a personal battleground. On 31st July at Jantar Mantar, thousands of students and teachers gathered to protest against the chaos in SSC exams – technical glitches, server crashes, wrong exam centers, and the role of private agency Eduquity. But instead of united voices, the stage soon became a PR platform where teachers fought for attention, gave interviews, and chased viral moments. The situation escalated with police lathi-charge, detentions, and injuries, yet the leadership crisis overshadowed the core issues. By 24th August at Ram Lila Maidan, the protests grew larger, with students staying overnight despite police restrictions. But once again, internal fights between prominent coaching teachers like Abhinay Sharma and Aditya Ranjan diverted the focus. Allegations of QR code donations, PR stunts, and even collusion with Eduquity shook the credibility of the movement. Questions were raised on Neetu Singh’s role too, as students accused her of abandoning them during the crackdown. While SSC continues to delay exams and students’ careers remain uncertain, the protest leaders seem more concerned about their own dominance. The big question remains – if teachers fight among themselves, who will truly fight for the students? 👉 Watch this episode of Facts & Figures with Hemant to understand what really happened at Ram Lila Maidan, why SSC students are the ultimate sufferers, and where this movement is heading.
