NEET-UG 2026 Exam Cancelled Nationwide Amid Fresh Paper Leak Allegations

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has cancelled the NEET-UG 2026 examination across India following allegations that the question paper was leaked before the test in multiple regions.[1] The decision affects several million medical aspirants who had appeared for or were scheduled to appear in the exam. NTA has stated that candidate registrations will remain valid and details such as application numbers and categories will automatically be carried forward for the re-exam.[1] A fresh date for the examination will be announced shortly after consultations with the Ministry of Education and other stakeholders.[1] The move has triggered protests, social media campaigns, and demands for stricter accountability and reforms in exam-conduct mechanisms. The controversy has revived memories of the 2024 NEET paper leak, which led to a CBI probe, multiple arrests, and hearings in the Supreme Court on the integrity of national-level entrance exams.[1][3] Coaching institutes and student groups are advising candidates to continue preparation and retain their admit cards for use in the rescheduled test. Opposition parties have criticized the government over repeated exam irregularities and called for an independent examination authority insulated from political influence.

Chennai Airport Steps Up Ebola Screening With Dedicated Isolation Facilities

Authorities at Chennai International Airport have enhanced health-screening measures for Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) following alerts related to cases in parts of Africa.[4] The airport has set up isolation rooms at Terminal 2 (T2) to handle and monitor passengers showing symptoms consistent with Ebola infection.[4] Health personnel have been deployed for thermal screening, symptom checks, and contact-history verification for travelers arriving from or transiting through affected regions.[4] Coordination has been strengthened between airport authorities, state health departments, and central health agencies to ensure rapid response, contact tracing, and medical referrals where required.[4] Information displays and announcements are being used to spread awareness among passengers about reporting symptoms and recent travel history. These measures are part of India’s broader strategy under the International Health Regulations (IHR) to prevent cross-border spread of highly infectious diseases. The state health department has emphasized that these steps are precautionary, with no confirmed Ebola case reported locally so far.[4]
