The crisis led to Dharmendra Pradhan&#8217;s resignation as education minister, with Union Minister Pralhad Joshi taking additional charge of the education ministry on 25 July 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the task force, the government has also announced fast-track courts to prosecute those involved in exam malpractice and indicated it is moving towards new legislation with stringent legal provisions to secure the examination process going forward.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Nandan_Nilekani_Was_Chosen_to_Lead_the_Panel\"><\/span><strong>Why Nandan Nilekani Was Chosen to Lead the Panel<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Nandan Nilekani&#8217;s track record in building and scaling large technology-driven public systems, most notably Aadhaar, is seen as central to why the government picked him for this role. Restoring public trust in the National Testing Agency and the broader examination ecosystem is expected to require exactly the kind of large-scale, technology-first systems thinking that defined his work on Aadhaar.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Nandan Nilekani now leads a six-member task force tasked with overhauling India&#8217;s public examination systems, following the NEET-UG paper leak crisis and the resulting political and administrative changes at the education ministry. The panel&#8217;s recommendations, once submitted, are expected to shape the next phase of examination reform in India.
