The Indian Air Force (IAF) has flown over 200 sorties in the past four days to transport NEET-UG 2026 question papers across the country ahead of the medical entrance re-examination.
The mission, which began on June 13, is expected to be completed by Wednesday, with the re-examination scheduled for June 21.
The IAF's involvement comes after the original NEET-UG 2026 examination was cancelled following allegations of a question paper leak.
Transport aircraft and helicopters have been used to collect examination papers from two distribution hubs and deliver them to more than 20 locations, with officials citing security reasons for not disclosing operational details.
The decision marks one of the most extensive security exercises undertaken for a national examination in recent years, with the National Testing Agency (NTA) introducing restrictions on access to Telegram in India for a limited period ending June 22 to prevent the circulation of fabricated claims and misleading content.
