In response to the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak, which has jeopardized the future of over 22 lakh medical aspirants, Digvijaya Singh, Chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Education, has committed to a comprehensive investigation. The committee plans to summon the chief of the National Testing Agency (NTA) and senior officials from the Education Ministry to address the issue. Singh expressed disappointment over the lack of implementation of previous recommendations aimed at preventing such incidents.

The NEET-UG exam, which took place on May 3 across 551 cities in India and 14 international locations, was cancelled on May 12 following allegations of a coordinated paper leak. Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has called for a high-level review meeting to ensure integrity and transparency in the upcoming re-examination scheduled for June 21. He has instructed officials to enhance security measures at examination centres and ensure adequate facilities for students. As part of the corrective measures, the NEET-UG will be conducted in a computer-based test format starting next year.
