NTA's NEET Exam Leaks Raise Questions Amid Financial Surplus and Calls for Reform
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has faced repeated controversies over NEET exam paper leaks, including incidents in 2024 and 2026, despite generating a Rs 448 crore surplus between 2018 and 2024. A Parliamentary Standing Committee questioned why these funds have not translated into improved exam security. Former Karnataka CM Veerappa Moily highlighted past successes with state-level exams like CET and urged NEET to emulate such models. The Supreme Court has emphasized zero tolerance for negligence in NEET's conduct and called for transparency from the NTA regarding any mistakes.
