NEET Re Exam News | 'Some Teachers Turned Predators,' Dharmendra Pradhan Tells NDTV

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, in an exclusive interview with NDTV, spoke about the preparations for the NEET UG re-examination and explained how the test was conducted successfully following the paper leak controversy. Referring to the irregularities that surfaced during the earlier exam cycle, Pradhan said some of those entrusted with responsibility had failed in their duty. "NTA had placed its trust in certain teachers, but some of them did not fulfil their responsibility. Rakshak hi bhakshak ban gaye (the protectors themselves turned predators)," he said. Speaking about the re-examination, the minister said the government's priority was to ensure a fair and secure process for meritorious students nationwide. "The meritorious students of our country have done well, and they are going to score good marks," he said.
