The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has expressed outrage over the recent NEET-UG 2026 paper leak, which has affected approximately 22-23 lakh students across India. Anurag Dhanda, AAP's National Media In-charge, criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government for failing to address the syndicate behind the leak, questioning the effectiveness of measures taken to prevent such incidents. He highlighted the panic among students due to the sudden cancellation of the exam and the lack of accountability for those at the top who may be involved in facilitating these leaks. In response, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan announced a re-examination scheduled for June 21, transitioning to a Computer-Based Test (CBT) format next year to enhance transparency. Pradhan confirmed that the decision to cancel the original exam was made after it was discovered that questions had been leaked. He emphasized the government's commitment to preventing malpractice and announced that students would receive refunds for exam fees, with no charges for the upcoming test. The NTA will provide further details and allow students to select their preferred examination cities by June 14.
