NEET-UG 2026 Under Cloud: NTA Refutes Leak Claims as State Police Intensify Investigations
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially broken its silence regarding the escalating controversy surrounding the NEET-UG 2026 medical entrance exam. While social media and local reports have been rife with allegations of a paper leak, the agency maintains that the examination process remains secure.
NTA Statement: "Integrity Intact"
In a formal clarification issued today, the NTA addressed reports of "guess papers" circulating in Rajasthan prior to the exam.
Official Stance: The NTA has dismissed these as baseless rumors, stating that the sanctity of the exam has not been compromised.
Verification: According to the agency, the sets of questions being circulated on social media do not match the actual question papers used during the national entrance test.
Operational Security: The NTA emphasized that its multi-layered security protocols were strictly followed across all centers.
Rajasthan SOG and Bihar Police Launch Probes
Despite the NTA’s denial, law enforcement agencies in two states are actively pursuing leads related to organized "paper solver" gangs.
Rajasthan SOG: The Special Operations Group (SOG) is currently investigating specific leads in Rajasthan regarding alleged "paper brokers." The focus is on identifying individuals who claimed to have access to the exam content beforehand.
Bihar Police Investigation: In a significant development, the Bihar Police have reportedly recovered post-dated cheques during raids. These cheques are suspected to be linked to transactions between candidates' families and brokers in exchange for leaked questions.
Detentions: Multiple individuals have already been detained for questioning in both states as authorities work to trace the financial trail behind the alleged scam.
What This Means for Aspirants
For the millions of students who appeared for the exam, the situation remains fluid.
No Re-Exam Scheduled: Currently, there is no official move toward a re-examination, as the NTA maintains the exam was fair.
Wait for Official Findings: Experts advise students to focus on upcoming counseling schedules while the police investigations reach a conclusion.
Portal Note: We are monitoring the investigation closely. Check back for live updates on the Rajasthan SOG report and further statements from the Ministry of Education.
