The National Testing Agency (NTA) recently announced the NEET-UG exam cancellation after serious allegations of a paper leak surfaced. This decision followed investigations by the Rajasthan Special Operations Group. Consequently, student organisations have intensified their protests across New Delhi. They are demanding strict action against officials for compromising the examination system.
The NTA stated that the cancellation ensures transparency for medical aspirants. Furthermore, the central government approved the decision to scrap the May 3 test. A re-examination will occur on dates to be announced later. Moreover, the government officially handed the investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
Specifically, the NSUI held major demonstrations outside Shastri Bhawan. Protesters carried placards alleging that the education ministry is weak. Meanwhile, the SFI claimed that nearly 120 chemistry questions were leaked. They demanded a complete ban on the NTA. Similarly, the ABVP called for a time-bound probe to restore sanctity.
The CBI has now registered an FIR and formed special teams. Initially, the Rajasthan SOG discovered a guess paper with exam questions. Additionally, authorities have detained suspects in Nashik and Jaipur. The NTA confirmed that existing registrations will remain valid for the next test.
Q1: Why did the NTA cancel the NEET-UG 2026 exam?
The NTA cancelled the exam due to credible allegations of a question paper leak and internal irregularities that compromised the integrity of the process.
Q2: Will students have to pay a fee for the re-examination?
No, the NTA confirmed that no additional fees will be charged. Furthermore, candidates do not need to register again for the new exam dates.
Q3: Who is currently investigating the paper leak?
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has taken over the inquiry from local police to investigate the criminal conspiracy at a national level.
