NEET UG 2026 Cancelled, Fresh Exam to Be Conducted Following Paper Leak Allegations The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate) (NEET) 2026, originally scheduled for May 3, 2026, has been cancelled following allegations of a leaked examination paper. The National Testing Agency (NTA) announced the decision on May 12, 2026, stating that the exam will be re-conducted after a thorough investigation into the claims. The Rajasthan Special Operations Group (SOG) is currently probing the allegations, which involve the circulation of a “guess paper” containing questions closely matching the actual exam. The NTA’s press release emphasized that the cancellation was made in coordination with central agencies and law enforcement to ensure transparency in the examination system. The agency stated that the decision, approved by the Government of India, aims to restore trust in the national examination framework. The re-conducted exam dates and admit card schedules will be communicated through the NTA’s official channels in the coming days. The allegations of a paper leak sparked widespread concern among students and educators. According to reports, the leaked material was circulated before the exam, raising questions about the integrity of the process. Rajasthan Police SOG Additional Director General Vishal Bansal confirmed that the agency is investigating whether the leak was linked to organized crime. The probe has intensified amid growing public distrust in the examination system. Protesters, including members of the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI), gathered near the Shastri Bhawan on May 12, 2026, to demand accountability and transparency.#national_testing_agency #neet_ug #national_students_union_of_india #rajasthan_sog #vishal_bansal
