The National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued a strong warning to students regarding false rumors circulating on social media about a leak of the NEET (UG) 2026 re-examination question paper. The agency labeled these claims as fraudulent, stating they are orchestrated by organized cheating rackets looking to exploit student anxiety and extort money. In response, the NTA is taking strict action by reporting these fraudulent channels to cyber-crime authorities and filing complaints with law enforcement. The agency has advised students and their parents to remain vigilant and not engage with anyone claiming to have advance access to the exam papers. They emphasized the importance of focusing on studies and relying solely on official communications from the NTA. The NEET UG 2026 exam has been rescheduled to June 21 following previous controversies involving paper leaks, which are currently under investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Protests from student groups have also intensified in response to these issues.
