The tragic suicide of Pradeep Meghwal, a NEET aspirant, has raised serious concerns about the integrity of India's education system. Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot expressed his sorrow, attributing Meghwal's death to 'institutional failure' and ongoing irregularities in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET). Gehlot emphasized that this incident reflects the distress faced by countless students due to flaws in the educational framework. He called for accountability and transparency in examination processes, urging that the aspirations of talented students should not be compromised by administrative failures. In response to Meghwal's death, the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) has staged protests against the National Testing Agency (NTA), demanding the resignation of the Union Education Minister and a ban on the agency due to its alleged incompetence. The protests were sparked by the cancellation of the NEET-UG 2026 examination, which was marred by allegations of a question paper leak, affecting more than 22 lakh candidates. A re-examination is set for June 21, with heightened security measures to prevent further issues.
