NEET-UG 2026 Cancelled Nationwide After Paper Leak; CBI Probe Ordered

The central government has cancelled the NEET-UG 2026 medical entrance examination following credible allegations of a question paper leak. Reports indicate that the leak trail involves networks in Rajasthan’s Sikar and Nashik, with “guess papers” allegedly matching the original exam questions. The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced that a fresh exam will be conducted, with no requirement for new registrations from candidates. Examination fees are to be refunded, and the case has been transferred from state police to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Multiple arrests have been made, including individuals in Jaipur and alleged counselling agents. The controversy has triggered nationwide protests, renewed calls from some states (such as Tamil Nadu) to scrap NEET, and intense debate over NTA’s credibility. The Ministry of Education has indicated that its first priority is to hold a re-exam in a safe, transparent, and credible manner.

CBI Arrests Multiple Suspects in NEET-UG 2026 Paper Leak Case

The Central Bureau of Investigation has arrested at least five individuals, including three members of a Jaipur-based family, in connection with the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak. Investigators are examining how leaked material was distributed through coaching and counselling networks, with Sikar in Rajasthan and Nashik in Maharashtra emerging as key nodes. Around 50 people have reportedly been detained across several states as the probe widens. Authorities have also identified a list of purported “beneficiary students” and parents who allegedly accessed leaked “guess papers.” The case was transferred to the CBI from state agencies such as the Rajasthan Police Special Operations Group. This investigation adds to prior NEET-related cases where multiple chargesheets were filed for earlier exam thefts. The outcome may influence future policy on exam security and accountability for coaching ecosystems.
