Karnataka Minister Sharanprakash R Patil has strongly criticised the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak, calling it a grave injustice and accusing the Centre of harming students’ futures. He demanded the Union Minister’s resignation and a court-monitored probe, backing Karnataka’s CET over NEET. The CBI has arrested a key accused, while protests and demands for NTA’s overhaul continue.

Bengaluru: Karnataka Minister for Medical Education, Skill Development, and Livelihood, Sharanprakash R Patil, strongly criticised the recent NEET alleged question paper leak, calling it a grave injustice to the entire student community, and the Central Government has sabotaged the futures of thousands of students who dream of becoming doctors.

The Minister demanded that the Union Minister concerned must resign over this latest debacle, and that the investigation must be conducted under the direction of a court of law.

Speaking at a press conference held at Vikasa Soudha on Saturday, the Minister said Karnataka's Common Entrance Test (CET) is a far superior model to NEET and should be adopted nationally, according to a release.

"The state has urged the Central Government on multiple occasions to consider this, but those appeals have gone unheeded," he said.
