India's Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned following weeks of nationwide student protests over alleged leaks and irregularities in the NEET-UG 2026 entrance examination.

In his resignation letter, Pradhan said his decision was made to protect students' futures and prevent the controversy from causing further disruption.

The resignation comes after sustained demonstrations demanding accountability and education reforms, with protesters describing the move as a significant victory while calling for broader changes to restore trust in India's examination system.
