Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan confirmed that the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET-UG) re-test will take place on June 21 after serious irregularities, including a paper leak, were reported. The National Testing Agency (NTA) cancelled the original exam held on May 3 due to these allegations, which have caused significant distress for approximately 22 lakh students. Pradhan stated that the government is dedicated to making the re-test 100% error-free, ensuring that no deserving student loses their opportunity due to the actions of an examination mafia. He acknowledged the mental anguish experienced by students and the criticism directed at the government's handling of the situation, asserting that it is their responsibility to correct the system rather than ignore the problems. The minister also mentioned that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is probing the matter to hold those responsible accountable. The government is committed to improving the examination process and restoring trust among students and parents.
