The Education Minister revealed that the verification process began on May 8 and continued for four days before authorities decided to cancel the examination in the interest of students.
NTA announced that the decision to cancel the NEET was taken after examining inputs received from Central agencies and law enforcement authorities regarding alleged irregularities in the examination process.
This comes after reports of a possible paper leak came from Rajasthan after the NEET-UG 2026 examination held on May 3. The Rajasthan Special Operations Group (SOG) had launched an investigation into the allegations.
