Jaipur, May 12, 2026: Fresh controversy has erupted around the NEET UG 2026 examination after allegations of a possible paper leak surfaced in Rajasthan. Police and Special Operations Group (SOG) officials have launched an investigation following claims that several questions circulated before the exam closely matched the actual paper.
According to officials, around 100 questions allegedly shared before the examination were found to be similar to those that appeared in the NEET UG 2026 paper, raising serious concerns about exam integrity.
Jaipur and Sikar Become Focus of Investigation
Authorities have detained several individuals from Jaipur and Sikar as part of the ongoing investigation. Preliminary findings suggest that a network may have attempted to distribute chemistry-related questions before the examination.
The Rajasthan SOG is now examining digital evidence, including mobile phones, chat records, and communication channels allegedly used to circulate the material.
Questions Allegedly Circulated Before Exam
Investigators are trying to determine whether the circulated questions were part of an organised paper leak operation or a case of highly accurate predictions. Officials stated that forensic and technical analysis is underway to verify the authenticity and source of the leaked content.
Reports indicate that several candidates and coaching-linked individuals are also being questioned in connection with the case.
NTA and Authorities Monitoring Situation
The National Testing Agency (NTA), which conducts the NEET examination, is closely monitoring developments. Authorities have assured students that the investigation will be carried out thoroughly and action will be taken if any malpractice is confirmed.
The issue has once again reignited concerns over the security and transparency of competitive examinations in the country.
Concern Among Students and Parents
The allegations have created anxiety among NEET aspirants and parents, many of whom are demanding a transparent investigation and strict punishment for anyone involved in exam malpractice.
Education experts have also called for stronger digital monitoring and tighter security protocols to prevent future leaks and maintain trust in national-level examinations.
