The National Testing Agency (NTA) has dismissed claims of a NEET re-exam paper leak, terming a viral video as 'fake'. The video, which circulated on social media, alleged that the exam paper was leaked on Telegram before the examination.
NTA issued a statement saying that the re-examination was conducted successfully on Sunday, and warned against spreading misinformation on social media.
The agency also warned that manufacturing and deliberately circulating such misinformation is a serious offence and appealed to students, parents, and the public to verify only through the official NTA handles.
Over 20 lakh candidates appeared for the NEET (UG) 2026 re-examination across 5,440 centres in India and 14 centres abroad, with the examination being conducted in 13 languages.
NTA Director General Abhishek Singh said the re-examination was conducted smoothly with full security arrangements, and the evaluation process would begin shortly with results to be announced faster than usual.
