Taking his oath as a member of the 18th Lok Sabha, Independent MP from Bihar's Purnea, Pappu Yadav, donned a t-shirt with the words 'Re-NEET' on it and demanded the re-conduction of the medical entrance exam and special status for Bihar. This comes amidst intense criticism faced by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for alleged irregularities in NEET-UG exams, resulting in demands for disbanding the NTA across the country. In response to this, the Ministry of Education has constituted a high-level committee of experts, led by ISRO former chairman Dr. K. Radhakrishnan, to make recommendations on reforms in the exam process and the functioning of the NTA.
