Manipur NEET Candidates' parents are apprehensive about their safety in Manipur, and the lack of internet availability makes online learning an impractical option for them. As a result, they are seeking a transfer to alternative universities to continue their education.

Since May 3, Manipur has been experiencing ethnic clashes between the dominant Meitei community in the Imphal valley and the tribal Kukis residing in the hills. The violence has resulted in the loss of over 160 lives and numerous injuries. The unrest began when a 'Tribal Solidarity March' was held in the hill districts to oppose the Meitei community's plea for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status.
