₹1 Crore Compensation “We demand that your administration release a compensation amount of one crore rupees to all families who have suffered from a suicide due to the compounding crisis of paper leaks.”_

Accountability: Renewed demand for Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation stating “students want to see some accountability for the loss of lives.”

3Systemic Fix: Called for immediate intervention, saying “holding leadership accountable is a vital step toward restoring the faith of millions of students and parents.”

 The Student Suicide Toll.

Dipke claimed 11 NEET aspirants died by suicide over the past week, including five deaths reported within just 48 hours. He said the trend is “intensifying as the pressures of upcoming re-examinations loom over our youth.”

The NEET-UG exam held on May 3 was cancelled following paper leak allegations. Over 2.27 million students took the test across 551 cities before it was scrapped. The re-examination is scheduled for June 21, 2026.

"Far from slowing down, this devastating trend is intensifying as the pressures of upcoming re-examinations loom over our youth,” Dipke wrote.

Financial Ruin for Families.

Dipke highlighted that many families had “taken out massive educational loans to support their children's dreams, that were cruelly shattered by systemic failures.”.

"Having lost the very children they poured their life savings into educating, these families have been left entirely destitute,”the letter stated. “Beyond the unbearable emotional trauma these families are now facing severe, compounding financial ruin.”

CJP founder recently met the family of Akanksha Chaturvedi, a NEET aspirant who died by suicide in Nagpur allegedly due to depression caused by the exam cancellation.

CJP Protest & Political Pressure.

The letter comes ahead of CJP’s second protest at Jantar Mantar on June 20, 2026. where the youth-led outfit plans to intensify its campaign against “examination irregularities and the government's failure to ensure accountability.”

Students from all across India are assembling at Jantar Mantar, 20th June onwards, to raise our demand. We hope your government listens to the voice of India's future,” Dipke wrote.

The CJP has been demanding Pradhan’s removal _“for the past month” and has held protests across the country. “If swift and decisive action is not taken… it inadvertently sends a message that the administration accepts the status quo,” Dipke argued.
