New Delhi, June 22: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has responded to a viral video circulating on social media regarding the NEET (UG) 2026 examination. The agency has labeled the video as fake. In a post on X, the NTA stated that it has taken notice of the misleading video claiming to provide false information about the NEET (UG) 2026. The examination was conducted successfully today under strict security and monitoring.
The NTA emphasized that creating and deliberately spreading such misinformation to deceive or intimidate students is a serious offense. The agency, in collaboration with I4C and law enforcement agencies, is taking action against those responsible for generating this content.
The NTA appeals to students, parents, and the general public to verify information only through the official website and NTA’s official links, and not to propagate such misleading content. Over 2 million candidates have the right to a peaceful and fair examination process.
Additionally, NTA Director-General Abhishek Singh provided updates on the successful organization of the NEET re-examination. He discussed the examination’s conduct, security measures, candidate numbers, results, counseling processes, and steps taken to restore student confidence. Singh noted that the exam was conducted under highly challenging circumstances, but with the cooperation of various agencies, including central and state governments, it was successfully completed.
He highlighted that organizing the nationwide re-examination within just 37 days after the previous exam was canceled posed a significant challenge. Various ministries of the central government, state governments, security agencies, paramilitary forces, railways, air force, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Home Affairs, and Ministry of External Affairs all played crucial roles in this effort. The successful administration of the exam was made possible thanks to the cooperation of parents, students, educational institutions, examination centers, teachers, inspectors, and center supervisors.
Regarding the number of candidates participating in the re-exam, Singh noted a natural decrease in student numbers, as many opted for other colleges or alternatives. The examination was held at 5,440 centers across the country and 14 centers abroad, with over 2 million candidates participating. According to Singh, the peaceful and organized conduct of such a large-scale examination is a significant achievement in itself.
