NEET UG 2026 has become one of the most closely watched entrance examinations in India after allegations of a paper leak led to the cancellation of the May 3 exam. With the re-exam scheduled for June 21, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has introduced sweeping changes aimed at restoring confidence among over 22 lakh aspirants.
