Candidates were escorted and guided as they made their way into the centre for the crucial national-level entrance test

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has put in place an extensive multi-layered security framework for the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination scheduled on Sunday, aiming to ensure a fair, transparent and malpractice-free process for more than 22 lakh medical aspirants across the country

The re-examination is being conducted following the cancellation of the original May 3 test amid allegations of paper leak

Authorities have coordinated with Central and state governments, police departments, district administrations and paramilitary forces to strengthen security and restore confidence in the country's largest medical entrance examination

The examination will be conducted at 5,440 centres across 551 cities in India and 14 international locations

The surveillance system will be supported by artificial intelligence-based monitoring tools and more than 51,000 signal jammers supplied by Electronics Corporation of India Limited (ECIL) and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) to prevent unauthorised electronic communication during the examination.
