Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan announced a significant reform in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Undergraduate (NEET UG), stating that from 2026, the examination will be conducted entirely in a computer-based format. This decision comes in the wake of a recent paper leak incident that led to the cancellation of the original test held on May 3, 2026. Following complaints regarding a leaked 'guess paper,' the examination was canceled on May 12, and a re-examination is now scheduled for June 21, 2026, with admit cards to be issued by June 14. Pradhan emphasized the government's zero-tolerance policy towards examination malpractices, asserting that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will investigate the breach in the examination process. He assured that strict actions will be taken against those involved in the malpractice. Furthermore, candidates will be refunded their examination fees, and the re-examination will be free of charge. To facilitate candidates, the National Testing Agency (NTA) will allow them to select their preferred exam city a week before the exam, with transportation arrangements considered based on weather conditions.
