Dharmendra Pradhan Takes Moral Responsibility for NEET Mistakes, Initiates Panel

In an unprecedented admission, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan acknowledged irregularities in this year’s NEET undergraduate exam, specifically pointing to errors in certain regions such as Bihar where a paper leak is under investigation. Pradhan announced the formation of a high-level committee to determine accountability within the National Testing Agency (NTA) and to review its operations.

At a press conference, Pradhan accepted “moral responsibility” for the diminished trust among youth and students. This marks a shift from his stance last week, when he had asserted there was no evidence of a paper leak and denied any corruption immediately after beginning his second term as Education Minister in the newly-formed NDA government.

Sources indicate that Bihar Police’s preliminary evidence suggests NEET irregularities confined to specific areas. Consequently, the government believes a nationwide retest may not be necessary. “We are considering holding a retest for candidates at the affected test centres,” a source said.
