Protests erupted in Hyderabad, India, led by members of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi Vidhyarthi (BRSV) and the Youth Congress in response to the National Testing Agency's (NTA) cancellation of the NEET-UG examination due to an alleged question paper leak. BRSV State president Gellu Srinivas Yadav criticized the Central government and the NTA, claiming the leak jeopardized the future of nearly 22 lakh students nationwide. He highlighted past incidents of similar nature in 2021 and 2024, arguing that the government has failed to learn from these mistakes. Yadav called for the resignation of NTA Director General Abhishek Singh and Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, alongside demands for stringent measures to prevent future leaks. Concurrently, the Telangana Youth Congress held a separate protest where effigies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Minister Pradhan were burned. State Youth Congress president Jakkidi Shiva Charan Reddy echoed concerns about the government's inability to protect students' futures, citing multiple examination leaks and the distress caused to students who prepared extensively for the NEET-UG exam.
