India's Education Minister Resigns After Weeks of Protests Over NEET Leak

Written by AI, News Sources from The Hindu, NDTV, Times of India25 Jul 20261 min readUpdated 59 min ago

India's Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned following widespread protests over an alleged leak of the NEET-UG 2026 exam paper. The protests, led by a satirical political group called the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), had been ongoing for over a month, with students demanding his removal. On the day of the resignation, protesters gathered at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, chanting 'Dictatorship defeated!' and celebrating with hugs and dance. Political leader Rahul Gandhi also weighed in, stating that simply moving Pradhan to another ministry would not satisfy student demands. He called for the minister to be sacked, citing corruption and incompetence. The resignation comes after mounting pressure from students and opposition parties.
