New Delhi, May 12, 2026

The controversy surrounding the alleged NEET-UG paper leak has intensified, raising serious concerns over the credibility of one of India’s biggest entrance examinations. With lakhs of students affected, the issue has triggered political reactions and renewed debates over accountability in the education system.

Rahul Gandhi targeted the BJP-led government over the matter, accusing it of failing to protect students’ futures. He also urged students to “Google” the posting history of the former NTA Director General, alleging that those linked to controversies continue to receive protection instead of facing action.

Amid growing outrage, the government decided to cancel NEET-UG and announced that a fresh examination will be conducted. The case has now been handed over to the CBI for investigation, while officials face mounting pressure to restore trust in the examination process.

As uncertainty continues for millions of aspirants, the controversy has once again highlighted the urgent need for transparency and stronger safeguards in India’s competitive exam system.
