The NEET-UG leak row has intensified in Rajasthan after reports emerged that a handwritten 'guess paper' was circulated in Sikar district just days before the examination. According to sources, the document contained 300 questions, out of which 140 matched the final NEET-UG question paper word-for-word.
Handwritten Paper Circulated on May 1
The incident came to light when local authorities in Sikar seized copies of the handwritten paper on May 1, 2026. The paper was allegedly being distributed among students preparing for the medical entrance exam. Investigators found that the questions were strikingly similar to those that appeared in the actual NEET-UG exam held later.
Matching Questions Raise Concerns
Out of the 300 questions in the circulated document, 140 were identical to the final exam paper. This has raised serious concerns about the security of the examination process. The National Testing Agency (NTA) has been under scrutiny for lapses in maintaining the confidentiality of question papers.
Authorities Launch Probe
The Rajasthan police, along with the NTA, have launched a thorough investigation into the matter. Several individuals have been detained for questioning. Officials are also looking into the possibility of a larger network involved in leaking the paper.
The leak has sparked outrage among students and parents, who demand strict action against those responsible. The incident has once again highlighted the vulnerabilities in the examination system.
Impact on Students
Many students who appeared for the exam feel cheated. "We worked hard for months, and now our efforts seem worthless," said a student from Sikar. The controversy has led to calls for a re-examination in the affected regions.
NTA's Response
The NTA has assured that the matter is being taken seriously. "We are committed to ensuring a fair examination process. Strict measures will be implemented to prevent such incidents in the future," said an NTA spokesperson.
As the investigation continues, the NEET-UG leak row remains a major talking point in Rajasthan and across the country.
