NEET Row: Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan Resigns Amid Nationwide Protests

The Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned over ongoing NEET protests.

Announcing his resignation on X, Pradhan stated, "My young friends, for more than four decades, I have been dedicated to students, teachers, and education reforms. I have always believed that a strong, inclusive, and visionary education system is the foundation of a strong nation. I deeply respect the aspirations, emotions, and legitimate expectations of the youth of our country. Fulfilling the dreams of India's young generation has always been a moral commitment in our political and social life. I express my gratitude to the Hon'ble Prime Minister for giving me the opportunity to serve the nation under his visionary leadership. However, irregularities came to light in the NEET-UG examination held on May 3, 2026. Taking immediate cognizance of the matter, the Government of India handed over the investigation to the CBI, cancelled the examination, and announced the date for the re-examination. Along with this, it was decided that from next year onwards, the examination would be conducted in the Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode."
