Digvijaya Singh Calls on PM Modi for White Paper on NTA Exam Irregularities Amid NEET-UG Paper Leak Controversy

The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate) [NEET (UG)] for the year 2026, originally scheduled for May 3, was cancelled on May 12 due to allegations of a potential paper leak. The National Testing Agency (NTA), which oversees the examination, made the decision following the emergence of these serious claims.

In response to the allegations, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has initiated an inquiry to determine the validity of the claims and to identify those responsible for any wrongdoing. The NEET exam is a crucial step for students aspiring to pursue undergraduate courses in medicine and dentistry across various institutions in India.

The NTA has not yet announced a revised date for the examination or a plan for how affected students will be accommodated. Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses and more information becomes available. This incident raises concerns about the integrity of the examination process and highlights the ongoing challenges faced by educational authorities in ensuring fair and secure assessments.
