Activists gathered at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET 2026 paper leak controversy.
Protesters accused the minister of failing to prevent the compromise of India’s national medical entrance examination and of responding inadequately after the scandal surfaced. The demonstration follows criminal investigations that uncovered a multi-state network selling exam papers.
NEET determines admission to medical colleges across India, making exam integrity a high-stakes issue for millions of aspirants and their families. The leak forced cancellation of the original test date and scheduling of a re-examination.
Jantar Mantar has hosted numerous student-led protests since the scandal broke. Organisers called for ministerial accountability and systemic reforms to secure future national examinations.
Delhi Police had granted permission for the protest, and security personnel monitored the gathering throughout the day.
