PIB Fact Check has also debunked claims being circulated online that the NEET (UG) 2026 re-examination question paper was leaked on Telegram before the test. Labeling the claim as fake, PIB Fact Check cited NTA’s clarification that reports of any paper leak are baseless and incorrect. Authorities have advised the public to remain vigilant and help curb the spread of misinformation.
The NEET-UG re-examination took place on Sunday from 2 pm to 5:15 pm in pen-and-paper mode. The re-exam follows the cancellation of the May 3 test over alleged paper leaks.
According to student feedback, the paper was tougher and lengthier than last year, with Physics emerging as the most difficult and time-consuming section. Biology was largely seen as easier, while Chemistry remained balanced. Students across cities reported mixed experiences but largely agreed that the challenging Physics section defined this year’s paper, raising expectations of a slightly lower cutoff.
