The National Testing Agency (NTA) has cancelled the NEET UG 2026 examination, initially held on May 3, following serious allegations of a question paper leak that impacted over 22 lakh candidates. The decision was made to uphold the integrity of the examination process. The controversy has escalated into a nationwide issue, prompting the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to take over the investigation into the alleged malpractice. Reports suggest that a 'guess paper' containing around 120 Chemistry questions was made available at coaching centres in Sikar, Rajasthan, prior to the exam, with prices reportedly reaching ₹7.3 lakh. In response to the situation, the NTA has assured that there will be no new application process for the re-examination and that fees already paid will be refunded. As the CBI continues its investigation, students are left in a state of uncertainty regarding the new examination dates and admit cards, expressing their disappointment and anxiety over the cancellation.
