The National Testing Agency (NTA) has cancelled the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) following revelations that a 'guess paper' had a 95-100% accuracy rate compared to the actual exam questions in biology and chemistry. Investigations revealed that all 90 questions in the biology section matched the leaked material, while 35 out of 45 questions in chemistry were identical. The NTA announced that the exam, initially held on May 3, 2026, will be reconducted at a later date, with 23 lakh candidates registered across 551 cities in India and 14 cities abroad. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has initiated a probe into the matter, as allegations of malpractice have surfaced. Congress leader Sachin Pilot criticized the government's handling of the situation, questioning the effectiveness of previous inquiries into similar issues. The NTA has stated that no new registrations or fees will be required for the reexamination, and further details will be communicated through official channels.
