The National Testing Agency (NTA) has dismissed allegations of leak or sale of the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination question paper as 'false' and 'fraudulent'. The agency warned of strict action against those spreading such content after social media buzz surrounding NEET-UG 2026 re-examination.
The NEET-UG for admissions into medical courses took place on May 3 this year but was cancelled by the NTA on May 12 amid allegations of a paper leak. The CBI is currently investigating this matter, and a retest is scheduled for June 21.
The NTA said it is 'actively identifying and reporting' the offending channels, accounts and content to the platforms and cyber-crime authorities for immediate takedown and action.
The agency is also mulling legal action and said it was filing a formal complaint with law-enforcement and cyber-crime authorities, warning that creating, circulating or forwarding such fraudulent content and attempting to defraud students constituted a serious punishable offence.
Candidates and parents have been advised not to engage with, pay for or forward such messages and not to fall prey to these 'fraudulent solicitations'. It also said to rely only on official communications issued through NTA's verified channels.
