NEET-UG 2026 Exam Cancelled Nationwide Amid Paper Leak Allegations

The Union government cancelled the NEET-UG 2026 exam conducted on May 3 after widespread allegations of paper leak and irregularities at multiple centres. Nearly 23 lakh (2.3 million) aspirants were affected by the decision, making it the first time NEET-UG has been scrapped since the National Testing Agency (NTA) took over in 2019. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has been handed the probe and has already arrested several individuals linked to the alleged leak. Opposition parties have accused the Centre of mismanagement and demanded a judicial probe and structural reforms in national-level examinations. Student groups have protested in several cities demanding accountability, compensation, and a clear timetable for the re-exam. The NTA has stated that a fresh examination schedule will be announced after reviewing the investigations and logistics. Several experts have called for stronger digital security, centre-level monitoring, and audit mechanisms for high-stakes exams.

CBI Arrests Five in NEET-UG 2026 Paper Leak Case

The Central Bureau of Investigation arrested at least five individuals in connection with the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case. Those arrested are reported to include a coaching centre operator, middlemen, and an examination functionary suspected of accessing and circulating the question paper. The accused allegedly used encrypted messaging platforms and pre-arranged answer keys to help select candidates. Raids were conducted across multiple states to seize digital devices, documents, and cash believed to be linked to the racket. The CBI is examining whether the leak was localised or part of a wider organised network that could have impacted multiple centres. The Home Ministry has asked for a detailed status report on the investigation timeline and security lapses. The arrests have intensified political criticism and demands to overhaul competitive-exam security protocols.
