Breaking News | Purported Resignation Letter of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan Surfaces Online

A document circulating widely on social media claims that Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the NEET-UG 2026 examination.

The purported resignation letter states that Pradhan has accepted moral responsibility for the alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG exam conducted on May 3, 2026. The letter says the government responded by ordering a CBI investigation, cancelling the examination, scheduling a re-test, and deciding to conduct future NEET exams in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode.

In the letter, Pradhan says his priority was to ensure that over 2 million students could take the re-examination fairly. He also claims that the revised NEET-UG results declared on July 16 reflected the success of many deserving candidates, including students from economically weaker backgrounds.

The document further expresses concern over the political controversy surrounding the issue, stating that the country's youth should not become victims of misinformation or prolonged legal disputes. It concludes with the claim that Pradhan has submitted his resignation to the Prime Minister while reaffirming his commitment to public service.

However, the authenticity of the letter has not been independently verified. There has been no official confirmation accompanying the images provided, and readers should await a formal announcement from the Government of India or the Prime Minister's Office before treating the resignation as confirmed.
