NTA cancels NEET-UG 2026 amid alleged paper leak
The National Testing Agency has cancelled the NEET-UG 2026 examination after allegations of a paper leak. The exam was held on 3 May 2026 and reportedly affected more than 22 lakh candidates across India and 14 cities abroad. The government has approved the cancellation, and a fresh date for re-conducting the exam will be announced separately. Reports say the case is now being handed to investigative agencies, including the CBI. The controversy has intensified debate over examination integrity and the reliability of large-scale national tests. It is also likely to trigger questions on paper security, fraud prevention, and exam governance.
