The cancellation of the NEET-UG 2026 exam has intensified scrutiny of the National Testing Agency's (NTA) examination processes, particularly its question-setting protocols. The NTA employs a highly secure question-setting method, where panels of senior faculty are isolated during the process to minimize leaks. However, past breaches, notably the NEET-UG 2024 leak, revealed vulnerabilities in the distribution chain, leading to significant reforms in logistics and security measures. These included GPS tracking for transport, biometric authentication, and enhanced monitoring at exam centers. As investigations into the 2026 breach continue, attention has shifted to the upstream question-setting phase, where concerns about contractual workers involved in technical processes have emerged. Experts suggest that the reliance on non-permanent staff could be a critical factor in maintaining exam integrity, as recommendations for restructuring have yet to be implemented. NTA Director General Abhishek Singh announced that the agency will disclose the re-examination schedule within the next ten days.
