One of the biggest concerns among students is whether the NEET UG 2026 exam will be cancelled or reconducted. The NTA has said that the investigation into the NEET 2026 paper leak controversy is still going on and no final decision has been made yet.

The agency explained that any future action will depend on the findings of investigation agencies and discussions with the Ministry of Education. At present, there is no official announcement about cancelling the NEET 2026 exam or conducting a re-NEET 2026 for students.

Re NEET 2024

Following the controversy over grace marks in the NEET UG 2024 exam, the NTA conducted a re-NEET 2024 on June 23, 2024, for 1,563 affected candidates after directions from the Supreme Court. Out of these, 813 students appeared for the re-NEET exam. The NEET 2024 re-exam was conducted to ensure fairness and remove confusion regarding the awarded grace marks. After the revised results were announced on July 1, 2024, the number of AIR 1 rank holders reduced from 67 to 61. Candidates who skipped the re-test retained their original scores without grace marks. The final revised scorecards were later released on July 26, 2024.
