NEET UG 2024 Paper Leaked – NTA Issues Statement

NEET UG 2024: The National testing Agency (NTA) today conducted the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET UG) 2024 exam in 557 cities across the country and 14 cities abroad in multiple exam centres. However, several social media posts are claiming that the question paper is leaked.

Also, at one centre in Rajasthan Girls Higher Secondary Adarsh Vidya Mandir, Mantown, Sawai Madhopur — Hindi medium students claim that they were handed English medium question papers. While NTA has agreed to the error of the wrong question paper, the Agency has refuted the reports of paper leak.

“Where the instances of ‘paper leak’ being claimed are completely false and it is being done just to sensationalise the news. In an isolated incident at Girls Higher Secondary Adarsh Vidya Mandir, Mantown, Sawai Madhopur, Hindi-medium students were given English medium question paper by mistake and by the time the invigilator was correcting the mistake, students forcefully walked out of the exam hall with the question paper.

“As per the rules students are only allowed to exit the hall with the question paper after the exam, but some students walked out forcefully. Due to this, the question paper was circulated on the internet around 4 pm, but by that time the exam had already started at all other centres across the country. So, there has not been any ‘leak’ of the NEET UG question paper,” a senior NTA official told indianexpress.com.

This year, 23 lakh candidates, including 10 lakh male students, 13 lakh female students, and 24 students under the ‘third gender’ category registered for NEET UG.

Uttar Pradesh reported the highest number of candidates followed by Maharashtra, and Rajasthan.

The candidates appearing for the NEET UG 2024 Exam were also briefed about the items that were not allowed to carry inside the examination hall.
