Govt Won’t Let Education Mafia Trap Students, Says Dharmendra Pradhan; NEET Re-Exam on June 21 to Be Error-Free

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said the government is committed to protecting students from the clutches of the “education mafia” and paper leak syndicates, emphasizing that the future of millions of young aspirants cannot be compromised.

Addressing concerns over examination irregularities, Pradhan said the government had to take some “very tough decisions” after nearly 22 lakh students reportedly underwent immense mental stress. Taking responsibility for the situation, he stated that the JEE UG-NEET examination was cancelled this time to ensure fairness and transparency in the system.

“We do not want the country’s future — our students — to fall prey to the education mafia and paper leak syndicates under any circumstances,” Pradhan said.

He further stressed that the government’s top priority is to ensure that no deserving or talented student is deprived of opportunities due to any conspiracy, malpractice, or administrative lapse.

Reassuring students and parents, the minister said the upcoming NEET examination scheduled for June 21 would be conducted in a completely transparent and “100 percent error-free” manner. According to him, ensuring a fair examination process is the government’s responsibility.

The minister’s remarks come amid growing concerns over exam integrity and demands for stronger action against paper leak networks, with authorities under pressure to restore confidence in the country’s competitive examination system.
