NTA cancels NEET-UG 2026 nationwide after alleged paper leak; fresh exam to be held

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has cancelled the NEET-UG 2026 examination across India following credible allegations of a question paper leak. Preliminary police investigations, including in Bihar, reportedly recovered burnt remains of leaked question papers, raising doubts over the exam’s integrity. The NTA stated that all previously registered candidates will be allowed to appear in the fresh examination without having to re-apply. Exam centre preferences and candidate details from the earlier attempt will automatically be carried forward. The agency has assured that a new exam date will be announced soon after consultations with the Ministry of Education. The development has revived public memory of the 2024 NEET controversy that led to a CBI probe, Supreme Court hearings, and multiple arrests. Student groups and coaching institutes have demanded a time-bound, independent investigation into the current leak. Concerns have also been raised over the impact on the academic calendar and counselling schedule for medical admissions.

Alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak traced to Bihar; police recover burnt question paper remnants

Law-enforcement agencies in Bihar have reported recovering partially burnt remains of documents believed to be leaked NEET-UG 2026 question papers. The material was reportedly seized during raids on suspected exam-cheating rackets operating in parts of eastern Bihar. Forensic examination has been initiated to match the recovered documents with the official NEET-UG 2026 question paper. Several individuals, including suspected middlemen and candidates, are reported to have been detained for questioning. The case may be transferred to a central agency if inter-state links and organised networks are established. The alleged leak is believed to have occurred prior to the examination date, raising concerns about systemic vulnerabilities in paper printing and distribution chains. Authorities in other states are coordinating with Bihar Police to trace similar rackets.
