NTA Cancels NEET-UG 2026 Exam Due to Allegations of Paper Leak, Announces Plans for Re-Test

The National Testing Agency (NTA) is expected to release the schedule for re-examinations within the next seven to ten days. In a statement, the NTA clarified that there will be no new registration or additional fees required for candidates wishing to participate in the re-test. According to NTA Director General Vineet Joshi, any decision short of canceling the exams would suggest that those attempting to manipulate the system had succeeded.

This announcement comes in the wake of irregularities reported during recent examinations, prompting the agency to take corrective measures. Candidates and stakeholders are urged to stay informed through official channels for updates on the re-test schedule and any further instructions. The NTA is committed to maintaining the integrity of its examination processes and ensuring a fair opportunity for all candidates.
