GOVERNANCE

NTA announces longer NEET-UG 2026 duration and more rough-work pages

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced key changes to the NEET-UG 2026 examination pattern, including an extension of the test duration and additional rough-work space for candidates.[1][2] The exam window has been increased from 180 minutes to **195 minutes**, running from 2:00 PM to 5:15 PM.[2] Candidates will now receive **four pages** for rough work, with two pages placed at the beginning of the question booklet to improve accessibility and convenience during the exam.[2] These modifications were introduced after feedback from students and stakeholders regarding time pressure and inadequate rough-work space, especially for physics and numerical questions.[1][2] NTA has framed the changes as part of its effort to make the test environment more candidate-friendly and to reduce stress levels.[1] The agency also indicated that further procedural instructions and detailed information will be included in the NEET-UG 2026 information bulletin in due course.[1] Coaching institutes and students have broadly welcomed the move, terming it a small but meaningful step towards exam rationalisation.[2]

DEFENCE

Pakistan Navy inducts first Hangor-class submarine with AIP capability

Pakistan’s Navy has inducted its first **Hangor-class submarine**, a Chinese-derived platform equipped with Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) technology.[2] The new submarine reportedly enhances Pakistan’s underwater endurance and stealth, allowing it to remain submerged for longer periods without surfacing.[2] This induction is part of a broader Pakistan–China defence cooperation programme, which includes multiple submarines to be delivered over several years.[2] The development has strategic implications for the Indian Ocean region, especially in the context of India–Pakistan maritime dynamics and China’s expanding naval footprint.[2] Defence analysts in India are likely to study the platform’s capabilities, range, and potential impact on regional deterrence equations.[2] The submarine’s name echoes the earlier Hangor submarine that played a notable role in the 1971 war, adding symbolic value.[2]
