The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced the cancellation of the NEET-UG 2026 exam due to serious allegations of a paper leak. According to NTA Director General Abhishek Singh, a whistleblower reported that certain questions from the exam matched those shared in a WhatsApp message prior to the test date.
