Earlier, the NTA has decided to cancel the NEET UG 2026 examination held on May 3 due to the paper leak. In a statement, the Agency said the decision was taken to maintain transparency and preserve trust in the national examination system. The sources suggest that the guess paper contained around 410 questions, with nearly 120 questions from the Chemistry section matching the examination paper exactly.
