Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has launched a strong critique of the Indian government's handling of the NEET-UG 2026 examination, alleging that it has devolved into an 'auction' for students' futures. He cited claims of 89 paper leaks and 48 re-exams over the past decade, asserting that many questions were sold via WhatsApp just hours before the exam. Gandhi emphasized the detrimental impact of such irregularities on the aspirations of over 22 lakh students. His statements come as the Rajasthan Police Special Operations Group investigates allegations of malpractice linked to the exam, including a 'guess paper' that allegedly contained 120 identical questions from the actual test. The National Testing Agency (NTA) has defended its examination process, stating it was conducted under stringent security measures, including GPS tracking and AI-assisted surveillance. The NTA is cooperating with ongoing investigations into the alleged irregularities.
