Students protest: Gen Z forces DP Change
Dharmendra Pradhan resigned as Union education minister on July 26, 2026, after student protests over the NEET-UG paper leak.
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), led by Abhijeet Dipke, called off their agitation after talks with Union ministers J P Nadda and Jitendra Singh.
The government agreed to provide compensation to families of NEET candidates who died by suicide and withdraw FIRs against protesting students.
Union minister Pralhad Joshi was given additional charge of the education portfolio.
CJP and the government will meet after four weeks to discuss broader exam system reforms.
