NTA debunked claims of fake NEET UG 2026 paper leak rumors circulating on social platforms on Saturday describing them as ‘false, fraudulent and intended to mislead.’
Taking to X, the testing agency said, messages were being spread by organised cheating rackets seeking to exploit the anxiety of students and their families by selling fake question papers and extorting money.
“Every such claim circulating is a fabrication,” the NTA said.
The agency reiterated that the integrity of the examination process remains intact and that all safety measures are in place to secure the question paper. It urged students and parents not to get invoked by these rumors circulating online playing on their anxiety.
It also informed that legal proceedings in the case have begun where officials have been charged to identify the channels, social media accounts and individuals responsible for spreading the fake news. Additionally, it has reported to file legal complaints with law enforcements and cybercrime authorities.
The NEET UG paper leak controversy has taken several political turns. Earlier in the day, NCP Sharad Pawar addressing the launch of ‘Technology on Wheels’, an initiative of the Sharadchandra Pawar Centre of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence under Vidya Pratishthan said – the use of advanced technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in the examination process could have prevented the controversy surrounding the alleged NEET paper leak.
The NEET UG 2026 was cancelled following allegations of a paper leak and is currently being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation. Several arrests including officials from NTA have been made.
