There is justifiably deep concern and anguish over irregularities and paper leaks with reference to the NEET-UG 2026 examination. The anxiety, disappointment, and fear, as there are no other words to describe students’ emotions, is palpable. If there was any faith in our education system, it has been shredded with this leak.

Certain questions were leaked and sent to various students, putting a huge question mark on this entrance examination. While there is considerable scepticism when it comes to our education system, often justifiably so, most of all, paper leaks not just of NEET but any and all examinations, are a huge injustice to lakhs students whose dreams lie in tatters, and they are affected huge mentally, too, as cheats seem to race ahead of all. Impressionable youngsters become bitter and lose faith in values like justice and fair play, and scoff at wisdom about hard work bringing rewards.
