Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan recently chaired a high-level meeting to address the NEET re-examination. This session followed the cancellation of the NEET-UG 2026 exam due to serious paper leak allegations. Consequently, the government is prioritizing a safe and transparent testing process. Senior officials from the Higher Education Department and the National Testing Agency (NTA) joined the discussions.
The Ministry of Education is currently finalizing the timelines for the re-test. However, officials indicated that the new schedule should appear within five to seven days.
