Claims of a leaked question paper for the upcoming re-NEET examination on June 21 are false. The Press Information Bureau (PIB) Fact Check has declared these allegations entirely baseless. The National Testing Agency (NTA) confirmed the circulating image is fake. Officials stated these rumors originate from cheating rackets aiming to extort money from students.
Officials Deny Leak, Cite Fake News
The NTA has officially labeled the trending image of a supposed re-NEET question paper as "all fake." The agency has alerted cybercrime units about the misinformation. Both the NTA and PIB have reiterated that no question paper has been leaked.
Officials explained that such content is fabricated by organized cheating syndicates. These groups create fake leaks to defraud unsuspecting students. The NTA urges students to disregard these false claims.
Student Concerns Persist Amidst False Claims
Despite official reassurances, student frustration is evident online. Previous leaks during the NEET-UG 2024 examination led to its cancellation. This event has eroded student confidence in the NTA's examination process. Many students question the NTA's integrity and its promises following the earlier leak.
Students are advised against engaging with online rumors about leaked papers or early access. Only information released through official NTA channels is considered reliable. Students should rely solely on official NTA announcements for updates regarding the re-NEET examination.
