NEET UG 2026 Re-Exam Held; Physics Toughest, Biology Easiest; Answer Key Pending
The NEET UG 2026 re-examination was held on June 21 after the May 12 exam was cancelled due to a paper leak. Around 23 lakh candidates appeared for the re-test, which was generally rated as moderate to difficult, with Physics identified as the toughest and lengthiest section. Biology was considered the easiest, closely aligned with NCERT, while Chemistry was moderate to tough. Experts expect a slightly lower cut-off this year. The National Testing Agency (NTA) is expected to release the provisional answer key and response sheets soon, followed by the final results by July-end.
