Pradhan also announced a series of measures for students appearing in the re-examination, including a refund of examination fees and waiver of charges for the upcoming test.
The Centre’s decision to cancel NEET-UG 2026, which was written by more than 22 lakh students across the country, is not just an administrative failure, but a cruel betrayal of the youth.
Calling repeated NEET paper leaks a serious concern, the Opposition leader said such incidents deepen anxiety, erode trust and jeopardise the future of hardworking students.
Pradhan said mandates were being treated “less like the people’s voice and more like suggestions open to rejection”, and questioned whether power was being seen as a responsibility or an entitlement.
