Who is Vineet Joshi? Top bureaucrat removed as higher education secretary amid NEET row
The Indian government removed Vineet Joshi from his position as higher education secretary amid escalating student protests over the NEET-UG paper leak. Joshi, a 1992-batch IAS officer, has been reassigned to the Panchayati Raj ministry, while Naresh Kumar Gangwar has been appointed as his successor. Joshi's tenure included significant roles in education administration, but he faced criticism for technical issues during exams, complicating the entrance test landscape.
