A parliamentary panel has flagged continuing irregularities in the NEET-UG 2026 examination, particularly the paper leak, and has sought a roadmap for reforms from the Ministry of Education. The panel recommended that the ministry compile a nationwide list of blacklisted firms involved in paper setting, administration, and correction to prevent future breaches.
Panel's Recommendations
The panel's suggestions come in the wake of repeated incidents of exam paper leaks, which have undermined the credibility of the entrance test. The committee emphasized the need for stringent measures to ensure the integrity of the examination process.
Blacklisted Firms
The parliamentary panel specifically called for a comprehensive list of companies that have been involved in any irregularities. This list would serve as a deterrent and help in selecting only trustworthy agencies for conducting exams.
