Examination Governance After the NEET 2026 Leak
When investigators found that a pre-circulated 'guess paper' matched much of the actual question paper, the National Testing Agency scrapped the NEET-UG 2026 medical entrance sat by roughly 22.79 lakh candidates on 3 May 2026 and handed the affair to the CBI. A re-test followed on 21 June, and the government has promised to move the exam onto computers from 2027. The episode has turned the two-year-old anti-cheating law and the design of high-stakes testing into a live governance question.
