On May 3, 2026, shortly after the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET-UG) was conducted, two teachers from Sikar, Rajasthan, Rajat and Satish, discovered a significant leak of exam questions. Satish received two PDFs containing questions that matched the actual exam, with 45 chemistry and 90 biology questions identified as identical. Conflicted about the implications of exposing the leak, they chose to report it to local journalists and subsequently filed a complaint with the police. However, they faced skepticism from authorities. After conducting their own research into previous exam leaks, they reached out to the National Testing Agency (NTA) via email, providing detailed evidence of the leak.
