Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, Says No Plan to Cancel the NEET-UG 2024 Exam

In response to numerous claims of irregularities in the NEET-UG 2024 medical entrance exam, the Central government has chosen to establish a high-level committee to examine the operations of the National Testing Agency (NTA).

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan stated during a news conference on Thursday night, “We are committed to holding zero-error exams, and a high-level committee is being formed to improve NTA functioning.”

When asked if it would be possible to cancel NEET-UG, similar to the decision to postpone the UGC-NET exam until Wednesday night, Pradhan responded, “One isolated incident (the Bihar paper leak) should not affect lakhs of students who took the exam sincerely.”

According to Pradhan, the Bihar government and his ministry are in contact.

“We have contact with the Bihar government regarding the NEET exam.” Patna is providing some information to us. The Patna Police are looking into it and will provide a thorough report. Pradhan said, “Strict action will be taken against the guilty following credible information.”

He further pleaded with the opposition parties, who are fiercely opposing the BJP government, to abstain from politicizing such a grave matter as it pertains to the youth of India.

“I shall once more urge my friends in the opposition to trust our system. Transparency and improving the future of our students are priorities for our government. Furthermore, let me reiterate that our government will not put up with any misconduct or irregularities.” Pradhan guaranteed.

The Congressman, Rahul Gandhi, claimed moments ago that the BJP is tampering with the future of the students.
