NEET UG 2026 May 3 Exam Cancelled: The National Testing Agency has voided the NEET UG 2026 exam due to integrity concerns for approximately 2.2 million medical candidates, which was held on May 3, 2026. Already, the Govt of India has handed over the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation for further investigation. As per the report published by the Rajasthan Special Operation Group, the investigators recovered a handwritten suggestion paper including 120 similar questions with the actual NEET 2026 exam paper. NTA accepts the allegation that they received the same inputs on the evening of May 7, 2026 (that is, after four days of the examination). Based on that, the agency has decided to walk out for the independent verification, and then the necessary action will be taken. NTA made a promise for the sake of the genuine test takers that their hard work would not go in vain.
