New Delhi, Jun 6: The National Testing Agency on Saturday advised all National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test-Undergraduate 2026 re-examination aspirants to ignore rumours of an alleged "leak" ahead of the June 21 test, reaffirming its commitment to conducting a fair and credible exam.

The Agency said the integrity of the examination process is fully intact, and every safeguard is in place to ensure a fair and secure examination for all candidates.

The NTA, in a message on its official account on X, said it has noted certain messages circulating on social media and messaging platforms claiming a "leak", advance access, or "sale" of the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination question paper.

"These claims are false, fraudulent, and intended to mislead. Such content is the work of organised cheating rackets that prey on the anxiety of students and their families. Their objective is to extort money by selling fake 'papers', and every such claim circulating is a fabrication," the NTA said.
