India's NEET Entrance Exam

An Indian policeman stands guard as candidates wait in a queue to enter an examination center for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) re-examination in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on June 21, 2026. The re-examination follows the cancellation of the original May 3 NEET examination by the National Testing Agency amid 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 implemented at examination centers across the country to ensure the smooth conduct of the re-examination, which affects more than two million medical aspirants.
