NTA to CBI: Probe possible Physics questions leak too
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has requested the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to investigate a potential leak of Physics questions from the NEET-UG 2026 examination. This follows the discovery that Chemistry and Biology questions were leaked and sold to students prior to the exam. The CBI has made several arrests in connection with the case, and a re-examination is scheduled due to the overlap of leaked questions with the actual test.

- ▪Ten arrests have been made, including individuals associated with coaching centers and NTA's expert panel.
- ▪The CBI investigation revealed that nearly all Biology and Chemistry questions were leaked as guess papers before the exam.
