In a bid to support candidates taking the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination, scheduled for June 21, Bihar's Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary announced that all government bus services across the state will be free for examinees and their families. This initiative is part of a broader effort to ensure the convenience of candidates, with additional arrangements for clean drinking water and food at key locations such as bus stands and railway stations. Meanwhile, Chirag Paswan, the leader of the Lok Janshakti Party (R), criticized the National Testing Agency (NTA) for its handling of the recent paper leak controversy surrounding the NEET-UG 2026 exam. He stressed the need for systemic reforms and accountability, stating that such incidents must not occur again. The NTA has maintained that the leak involved only certain questions and has initiated an investigation in collaboration with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Amid political tensions, the Parliamentary Standing Committee is also reviewing measures to enhance the integrity of the examination process and is considering transitioning NEET-UG to a computer-based testing format in the future.
