India’s education minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, resigned on Saturday after weeks of protests linked to the NEET paper leak and demands for exam reforms. The demonstrations put growing pressure on the government as anger spread among students and families.
According to the report, major protests were held in New Delhi and in other cities across the country. Many of the demonstrators were young people, reflecting how strongly the issue has resonated with students affected by the exam controversy.
The protests centered on concerns about the integrity of the NEET examination process and wider calls to change how such high-stakes tests are managed. The paper leak issue became a national flashpoint, turning a testing dispute into a broader political problem for the education ministry.
Pradhan’s departure marks a significant development in the government’s response to the unrest. His resignation follows sustained public pressure as demands for accountability and reforms continued to grow across India.
