Why Was the NEET UG 2026 May Exam Cancelled?

The NTA originally conducted NEET (UG) 2026 on Sunday, May 3, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM (IST) in pen-and-paper mode. However, the exam was cancelled owing to irregularities after "NEET UG paper leak" started trending on social media. Several aspirants held protests, with some demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The re-examination has now been confirmed for June 21, 2026 (2:00 PM to 5:15 PM), and no fresh registration is required.
