With just days left for the NEET-UG re-exam scheduled for June 21, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has dismissed viral claims of the question paper being leaked again as 'fake'. The NTA had said that preparations for the re-exam are being closely reviewed at every level, with coordinated efforts across the Centre, States and Districts to ensure a smooth and secure examination experience for every candidate.
The NEET-UG exam was first held on May 3, but was cancelled after authorities found out that the question paper was leaked prior to the exam. Amid huge backlash from students and the Opposition, a re-exam was ordered for June 21. To pacify students, the government also announced 15 extra minutes during the fresh exam to fill out details and complete formalities.
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has assured students that the re-test will be conducted in a fair and organised manner, and urged them to stay confident. A CBI probe into the NEET paper leak is currently underway, with 13 arrests made so far, mostly from Maharashtra.
