Sagar Khandre, the Member of Parliament representing Bidar in Karnataka, has expressed strong disapproval of the Indian government's management of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), highlighting ongoing irregularities and question paper leaks. In a statement released on May 14, 2026, he pointed out that these issues have significantly undermined public confidence in the education system, impacting the futures of over 22 lakh students nationwide, including more than 1 lakh in Karnataka alone. Khandre criticized the government's failure to conduct the examination transparently and securely, asserting that repeated incidents of malpractice and administrative lapses jeopardize students' aspirations for medical education. He described the situation as not just an administrative failure but an injustice to the youth. Khandre has called for a comprehensive investigation into these irregularities and urged the government to implement a more reliable examination system to prevent future occurrences.
