NEET UG 2026 Exam Cancelled: After Rajasthan paper leak, NEET-UG held on May 3 cancelled; CBI probe ordered
- Rajasthan Police Special Operations Group is investigating allegations of malpractice related to NEET-UG 2026, scrutinizing a "guess paper" containing around 410 questions, with nearly 120 allegedly matching the Chemistry section of the actual examination.
- The National Testing Agency stated the May 3 examination operated under "full security protocol," including AI-assisted CCTV and 5G jammers, after receiving malpractice inputs on May 7 that were forwarded to central agencies.
- Additional Director General of Police Vishal Bansal clarified the investigation remains at an early stage with "no arrests" made, though the document reportedly circulated among students weeks before the exam via WhatsApp.
- Opposition Rahul Gandhi attacked the Central government, claiming the entrance test has been turned into an "auction" where student futures are sold, while Congress MP Priyanka Vadra Gandhi questioned the effectiveness of anti-paper leak laws passed by Parliament.
- Recent reports highlight a recurring pattern of NEET paper leaks during 2026, 2024, 2021, and 2016, with critics asserting that rampant corruption in entrance examinations continues to jeopardize the future of millions of students.
