The National Testing Agency (NTA) cancelled the NEET-UG 2026 examination due to a major paper leak controversy. The NTA informed the Supreme Court that it had handed the investigation to the CBI and initiated corrective measures. The NTA stated that cancelling the exam was done to protect students and intended to preserve public confidence in the system. The NTA also stated that its actions showed concern for examination integrity and that it was extending full cooperation to the CBI in the ongoing probe. According to thefederal.com, the NTA modified several aspects of the current examination and defended its decision to cancel the exam. According to timesofindia, the NTA launched a dedicated portal for Re-NEET UG 2026 to address false claims and fraudulent activity, allowing candidates to report fake websites, social media accounts, individuals offering leaked papers, and impersonators of NTA officials. The re-examination is scheduled for June 21, and the fee refund window was extended until June 22, according to thefederal.com.
