In continuation of its press release dated 10 May 2026, the National Testing Agency wishes to inform candidates, parents, and members of the public of the following decisions taken in respect of NEET (UG) 2026. NTA had, on 8 May 2026, referred the matters then under consideration to the central agencies for independent verification and necessary action, consistent with its standing commitment to the fair, secure, and credible conduct of the national examinations entrusted to it.
1. On the basis of the inputs subsequently examined by NTA in coordination with the central agencies, and the investigative findings shared by the law enforcement agencies and in order to ensure that there is transparency in the system, the National Testing Agency, with the approval of the Government of India, has decided to cancel the NEET (UG) 2026 examination conducted on 3 May 2026, and to re-conduct the examination on dates that will be notified separately.
The inputs received by NTA, taken together with the findings shared by the law enforcement agencies, established that the present examination process could not be allowed to stand. The re-conducted examination dates, along with the re-issued admit-card schedule, will be communicated through the official channels of the Agency in the coming days.
2. The Government of India has further decided to refer the matter to the Central Bureau of Investigation for a comprehensive inquiry into the allegations therein. NTA will extend full cooperation to the Bureau and will provide all materials, records, and assistance the inquiry requires.
3. This decision has been taken in the interest of students and in recognition of the trust on which the national examination system rests. The Agency is conscious that re-conduct will cause real and significant inconvenience to candidates and their families. NTA does not take that consequence lightly. The decision has been taken because the alternative would have caused greater and more lasting damage to that trust.
4. The registration data, candidature, and examination centres opted for in the May 2026 cycle will be carried forward to the re-conducted examination. No fresh registration will be required, and no additional examination fee will be levied. In addition, fees already paid, will be refunded to the students and the exam will be re-conducted using NTA’s internal resources.
5. Further communications, including the re-conducted examination dates and the re-issued admit-card schedule, will be issued through the official channels of the Agency. Candidates and parents are requested to rely only on these official channels and to disregard unverified reports circulating on social media.

@JPNadda please wake up and start working on @fssaiindia .Don’t know how you are sitting still while being aware of the existence of toxins in ordinary Indians’ food. @RSSorg should swing him into action or ask him to step down. Food adulteration must be treated akin to terrorism
After following a few leads, we discovered that the hype around the surge in missing girls in Delhi is being pushed through paid promotion. Creating panic for monetary gains won't be tolerated, and we'll take strict action against such individuals.
India has had kings from the Shudra community and beyond.
If Brahmins had historically oppressed them, at least some kings from these communities must’ve taken revenge on them and proudly declared it through their royal inscriptions.
I request people to share such inscriptions.
@sagarshah_12@ICICILombard@PMOIndia Brother, I have already informed the company personnel that I am going to take legal action incase of default in service. I am a lawyer by education and do not intend to tolerate non sense.
Never again going with @ICICILombard . Extremely slow response, Staff take their own sweet time to process your claim, while your vehicle is at the garage. Days go by without response. Nobody to brief you on the exact status of claim. PATHETIC.
@anandobhakto read your The Hindu piece about illegal immigration and its perception. It aptly summarised the paralysis of Indian opposition with regard to issues that actually concern the common man. Very well articulated.
Government,just to satisfy medical college lobbies,lowered the cutoff so that seats don’t go vacant and their profits are unharmed.Are we now expected to ask for passing year and category to ensure that our health is in safe hands, refusing treatment from #NEETPG2025 candidates?
Only ignorants can sweet talk about our adversaries. I bet none of the makers of #Ikkis know the reality and the extent of the threat Pakistan poses to India. Just because you can’t tolerate reality doesn’t mean you run away from it. Read about #CaptSaurabKalia and we shall talk.
People are already sick of lack of accountability from the Government. If people have to hit the roads just to seek what is bare minimum, what kind of #BananaRepublic are we living in?
Extremely shameful behaviour from the elected lot. #IndoreWaterTragedy
What happened in #Bhagirathpura is utterly shameful. The state is supposed to protect the lives of people. If the state is actively involved in taking the lives of people by criminal negligence, where do the people go for relief? #IndoreWaterCrisis
Sometimes, Duty Speaks the Language of Kindness.
At the arrival area, a little girl, overwhelmed with joy on seeing her father, rushed ahead without a second thought. With calmness and care, a CISF personnel gently stepped in — keeping her safe while ensuring security protocols were followed.
Handled with patience, empathy and a human touch, the moment reflected how duty and compassion can walk hand in hand.
