The National Testing Agency denied that the NEET UG 2026 re-exam paper was leaked and labeled a viral video on the matter as fake.
The agency's swift rebuttal aims to maintain the integrity of one of India's most competitive medical entrance tests and prevent widespread student panic.
An NTA spokesperson said, "The video circulating online is fabricated; there has been no leak of the NEET UG 2026 re-exam paper" [1]. The agency warned that such misinformation is designed to disrupt the process for candidates. An NTA official said, "These false claims are intended to mislead students ahead of the re-examination scheduled for June 21" [2].
To ensure a secure environment, the NTA announced it has heightened security measures at approximately 5,500 exam centers across India [3]. These centers will be under strict surveillance to prevent any actual breach of the examination materials.
As part of these preparations, the agency announced a mock drill to review security protocols. This exercise is intended to identify potential vulnerabilities in the distribution and handling of the question papers before the actual test date.
The re-examination is scheduled for June 21, 2026 [1]. The NTA continues to urge students to rely only on official notifications and ignore unverified content appearing on social media platforms.
“"The video circulating online is fabricated; there has been no leak of the NEET UG 2026 re-exam paper."”
The NTA's proactive denial and the implementation of mock drills reflect a heightened state of alert regarding exam security. By addressing viral misinformation and reinforcing physical security at thousands of centers, the agency is attempting to restore public trust in the fairness of the medical entrance process following previous controversies surrounding paper leaks.
