The cancellation of the National Entrance and Eligibility Test – Under Graduate (NEET-UG) has sparked outrage among students and parents after a 'guess paper' was discovered to contain approximately 410 questions, with about 120 of those appearing on the actual exam. Conducted on May 3, 2026, the test saw 22.79 lakh candidates participating across 551 cities in India and 14 abroad. The Rajasthan Police Special Operations Group is investigating the leak, which allegedly circulated through coaching networks and WhatsApp groups weeks before the exam. Despite the National Testing Agency (NTA) implementing stringent security protocols, including biometric verification and AI-assisted monitoring, the integrity of the examination process has been called into question. This incident follows a similar controversy in 2024, where a paper leak led to arrests and scrutiny of the NTA's operations. Education experts argue that recurring issues with NEET examinations indicate a need for comprehensive reforms in India's examination governance. The NTA has referred the matter to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for further inquiry, amid growing demands for accountability and transparency in the examination system.
