NEET-UG paper leak shock: Why India's competitive exam system keeps failing

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has cancelled the NEET-UG 2026 exam held on May 3 amid allegations of a paper leak, affecting nearly 23 lakh aspirants. The government has asked the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to conduct a comprehensive probe into the irregularities. The move comes as the Rajasthan Special Operations Group investigates the alleged paper leak. The controversy has once again raised concerns over the credibility of India’s examination system.
