The National Testing Agency's Director General Abhishek Singh announced that the complete schedule for the re-conduct of the canceled NEET-UG 2026 exam will be officially released within the next 7 to 10 days. He clarified that candidates will not need to register anew or pay any additional application fee for this re-examination.
The NTA is currently determining exam centers and dates in collaboration with its technical team to ensure that the process remains completely secure and organized. In discussions with the media, DG Abhishek Singh acknowledged that the agency takes responsibility for the disruptions in the examination system, which is why a stringent decision was made to cancel the exam to maintain integrity. He mentioned that the responsibility for a thorough investigation of the matter has been assigned to the CBI.
The NTA has appealed to the investigative agency to identify and take strict legal action against any individuals involved in the paper leak, whether external or within the department, to prevent such incidents in the future. The Director General reassured over 2.2 million candidates that the current developments will not adversely affect the NTA's future examinations.
He stated that the agency is committed to restoring its credibility and the trust of students, and the re-examination will be conducted with complete transparency and without any errors. It is noteworthy that this entrance exam, held on May 3, was canceled by the central government on Tuesday following allegations of a paper leak, after which preparations for a new conduct have begun.
