Parliament’s Monsoon Session for 2026 opened on Tuesday against a backdrop of street protests and mounting pressure from opposition parties over irregularities in the NEET-UG medical entrance examination.
Opposition lawmakers signaled they would use the session to press the government for answers on the exam paper leaks, with several parties indicating they intend to raise adjournment motions and seek a detailed statement from the education ministry.
The session’s opening coincided with demonstrations outside Parliament linked to the Cockroach Janta Party’s protest movement, adding to the charged atmosphere inside the House. Treasury benches have signaled they are prepared to respond to opposition questions, though the government has not indicated whether it will allow a full debate on the exam controversy.
The Monsoon Session is expected to run for several weeks and will also take up routine legislative business alongside the NEET-related exchanges.
Both the ruling coalition and opposition benches are expected to face pressure to address the exam controversy directly once formal proceedings begin, given the scale of public attention the issue has already drawn ahead of the session’s opening.
