On NEET-UG 2026 exam cancelled due to allegations of paper leak, NTA DG Abhishek Singh says, “…We have handed over the matter to CBI. All accused will be nabbed and jailed so that the future of students are not adversely impacted. We will conduct a re-exam for students and it will be done in a fair manner. We have also decided that we will not charge any additional fee for the re-exam, we will also refund the fee charged in the first exam…””On the night of 7th May, we received information through a whistleblower that before the exams were conducted, the individual had received a WhatsApp message wherein some questions were matching the exact questions in the exam…It was our job to verify those allegations and also to verify whether those PDFs were available to anyone before 3rd May – the day of exam. Upon checking, it was found that some questions matched our question paper. It was also found that on 1st and 2nd May, the PDF was available on the phones of a few people…This was against our zero tolerance policy. This would have impacted the future of students preparing hard for the exam…So, in their interest, we took this step. We have handed over the matter to CBI. All accused will be nabbed and jailed so that the future of students are not adversely impacted. We will conduct a re-exam for students and it will be done in a fair manner. We have also decided that we will not charge any additional fee for the re-exam, we will also refund the fee charged in the first exam…”
