Allegations of a paper leak for the GATE 2026 examination have arisen just hours after the National Testing Agency (NTA) cancelled the NEET UG 2026 exam due to a confirmed leak. Candidates have taken to social media, claiming that several examination centers in Haryana and other regions were compromised. These claims reference the Raipur scam reported on February 16, where six candidates were caught cheating, leading to suspicions of a larger cheating operation affecting multiple national-level exams. Additionally, discrepancies in the GATE toppers' list have been pointed out, with some questioning how numerous top scorers originated from the same Kurukshetra center across various branches. Calls for an investigation into the GATE exam have intensified, as candidates urge the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IITG) to verify the legitimacy of these top scorers. Currently, IIT Guwahati has not issued any official statement regarding these allegations. The situation has escalated as the NTA faces backlash for its repeated failures to conduct examinations without incident, particularly after the NEET exam was compromised for the second time in two years. The Government of India has now referred the NEET case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for a thorough inquiry, amidst growing protests and demands for accountability from various student unions.
