Protesters demanded the immediate resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, holding the ministry responsible for alleged examination lapses.
They called for a transparent and time-bound investigation into alleged NEET paper leaks and recruitment exam misconduct.
Demonstrators sought reforms in conduct, evaluation, and monitoring of national-level competitive examinations to ensure fairness.
Concerns were raised over on-screen marking and digital evaluation systems, with demands for stricter safeguards and trained implementation.
Protesters urged the government to introduce structured mental health support systems for students facing academic pressure and exam stress.
Participants described growing frustration over repeated allegations of leaks and lack of trust in examination bodies. Several students said prolonged preparation cycles were being disrupted by uncertainty, while parents highlighted emotional and financial stress.
A section of protesters also raised concerns about uneven access to education in conflict-affected regions and the need for proper training before expanding digital systems in schools and colleges.
The crowd raised slogans demanding accountability and reforms in the education sector. Many participants wore symbolic masks and carried placards emphasizing transparency and student welfare. The rally remained largely peaceful under heavy security deployment.
