The National Testing Agency (NTA) confirmed that the NEET UG 2026 exam, held on May 3, was conducted under strict security protocols including GPS-tracked transport of question papers, AI-monitored exam centers, biometric verification, and 5G jammers. Following reports of a 'guess paper' circulating before the exam with over 100 questions matching the actual paper, the Rajasthan Special Operations Group (SOG) launched an investigation, detaining several suspects. The NTA is cooperating fully with law enforcement and awaiting investigation outcomes before taking further action.
