NEET UG 2026 has emerged as one of the most widely discussed exams this year. Although it was initially conducted on May 3, the National Testing Agency (NTA) cancelled it on May 12 following a paper leak controversy. The move impacted over 22 lakh students nationwide, many of whom had dedicated months to preparation. Investigations later revealed that the question paper had allegedly been accessed by some candidates before the exam. A re-examination has now been scheduled for June 21.
