Education minister Pralhad Joshi chairs first meeting over NTA-related concerns, aims for stronger exam systems
Union Minister Pralhad Joshi was recently given the additional portfolio of education minister after Dharmendra Pradhan resigned due to the NEET protests.
Union Education Minister Pralhad Joshi convened his inaugural meeting on Sunday to address concerns surrounding the National Testing Agency (NTA), focusing on bolstering the examination system, enhancing efficiency, and improving student support. The meeting, held at the ministry of consumer affairs, food and public distribution, also touched upon the recent NEET-UG exam 2026 paper leak in May, as well as the prolonged delays in releasing provisional answer keys for the UGC-NET June 2026 session.
Joshi emphasized the importance of building a "robust, transparent and credible examination ecosystem that serves the aspirations of every student."
