Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Joseph Vijay has urged the immediate abolition of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) following the cancellation of the NEET-UG 2026 exam due to a significant paper leak. He described this incident as evidence of the 'structural flaws' within the national medical entrance system, which he claims disadvantages rural and government school students. The cancellation has left lakhs of medical aspirants disheartened. In response to the leak, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested five individuals in connection with the case, which has been traced back to a medical student in Sikar, Rajasthan. Investigators are examining how the leaked materials were disseminated through coaching networks. Political reactions have been swift, with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticizing the government for its negligence, alleging that NEET has become an 'auction' amid repeated leaks. Other political figures have also pointed fingers at the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), claiming links between the accused and party leaders. The situation has sparked a broader debate on the integrity of the examination system in India.
