NEET-UG 2026 Examination Cancelled Amid Paper Leak Allegations

The National Test Tracking (NTA) cancelled the NEET-UG 2026 medical entrance examination following serious allegations of irregularities and question paper leaks. Sources revealed that the first digital copy of the leaked question paper was prepared in Nashik, with the "guess paper" achieving a 135-question match rate with original questions. Leaked questions were circulated both physically and through digital channels, compromising the examination's integrity. The cancellation has triggered significant anger among students and educational stakeholders. Khan Sir and other prominent figures have publicly criticized the NTA's handling of the situation. The incident raises critical concerns about examination security protocols and institutional accountability in India's high-stakes competitive exam ecosystem.

Public Sector Oil Companies Face Daily Losses of Rs 1,000 Crore Amid Fuel Price Freeze

India's public sector oil companies are experiencing significant daily financial losses of approximately Rs 1,000 crore due to the ongoing freeze on fuel prices. Minister Hardeep Singh Puri highlighted substantial under-recoveries, warning that oil companies cannot indefinitely sustain these losses without severe consequences. The minister clarified that electoral considerations are not the primary reason for the price freeze. Potential relief could come from a decline in crude oil prices or the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which would improve global supply dynamics. The situation underscores the tension between managing inflation and maintaining fiscal sustainability in the energy sector. Continued losses may force fuel price hikes in the near term, impacting consumer inflation and economic stability.
