Dharmendra Pradhan resigns as Union Education Minister
Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned amid protests over the NEET paper leak.
Pradhan submitted his resignation letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The NEET-UG examination held on 3 May 2026 had irregularities; the government canceled it and ordered a re-examination on 21 June 2026.
The investigation was handed over to the CBI, and from next year the exam will be conducted in CBT (Computer-Based Test) mode.
Pradhan stated his commitment to preventing the 'examination mafia' from harming meritorious students.
