Overview
- The May 3 NEET‑UG, which more than 2.2 million candidates took, was cancelled after paper‑leak allegations and the case was handed to the CBI; the NTA has scheduled a nationwide re‑exam for June 21.
- In a Supreme Court affidavit the NTA said it implemented Radhakrishnan committee measures such as 90‑day CCTV retention, mock drills, forensic review of footage, randomized paper handling and new SOPs.
- The NTA told the court that NEET‑UG will move to fully computer‑based testing from 2027 with multi‑session scheduling, AI‑assisted translation for languages, and reduced human intervention in translations.
- Technical failures in the May 30 CUET‑UG run by vendor TCS iON delayed exams at many centres, prompted an apology, compensatory time for affected students and a one‑time re‑exam for 3,765 candidates.
- The Supreme Court has asked the Education Ministry for a separate affidavit explaining how annual NEET processes will be institutionalised, while public anger and protests continue and the CBI investigation proceeds.
