NEET-UG 2026 Paper Leak Sparks Concern, Re-Exam Scheduled

The paper leak of the NEET-UG 2026 exam has raised serious concerns, prompting calls for accountability. On Friday, AAP National Media Incharge Anurag Dhanda expressed doubts about the government's actions against the alleged syndicate responsible. A re-examination is slated for June 21 to address the breach.

Dhanda criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration, accusing it of endangering students' futures and fostering suspicion. "The sudden cancellation of exams, followed by an announcement of a rescheduled date, raises questions. Was the kingpin behind the leaks apprehended, or is the political protection allowing continued malpractices?" he remarked.

In response, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan assured the public of robust preventive measures. Pradhan announced a transition to Computer-Based Tests (CBT) from next year, highlighting the need for transparency and fairness in the examination process. Additional measures include fee refunds for affected students.
