India's NEET Entrance Exam

Candidates check their examination center details and room allocations on a notice before the NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) re-examination in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on June 21, 2026. The re-examination is held after the National Testing Agency (NTA) canceled the original May 3 NEET examination due to allegations of a question paper leak and other irregularities. The situation has led to political debate, with opposition parties questioning the examination process and seeking accountability from authorities. Enhanced security measures are in place at examination centers nationwide to ensure the smooth conduct of the re-examination, which involves more than two million medical aspirants.
