Examination Governance After the NEET 2026 Leak
The National Testing Agency (NTA) runs NEET-UG, JEE-Main, CUET and UGC-NET under a 2024 unfair-means law toughened in 2026. After the NEET-UG 2026 leak forced a cancellation, a re-test and a minister's exit, Parliament's standing committee on education presented its 382nd Report on 9 October 2026, urging government-owned computer-test centres, a permanent NTA staff and admission tests only.
