Approximately over 22 lakh students appeared for the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination held today, across the country, following the cancellation of the initial May 3 exam due to a question paper leak. The entry for the exam centres followed a strict process with metal dectectors in place. To ensure a secure and efficient examination process, the National Testing Agency (NTA) implemented comprehensive security and surveillance measures across the exam rooms. The rooms were equipped with CCTV cameras that were being monitored. Jammers provided by ECIL and BEL were also deployed. The NTA had stationed two invigilators in every room, with over ten functionaries present at each centre. A total of 38,795 frisking personnel and 48,448 biometric staff were deployed for face authentication. Around 6,700 observers, more than 100 virtual observers, and an average of 40-50 security personnel are present at each centre. Logistical security had been prioritized through the mobilization of police, paramilitary forces, the Indian Air Force, and the Department of Posts, with all confidential materials verified at custodian banks. The NTA also focused on candidate welfare by providing drinking water, ORS, and ambulances at centers, along with shade and seating for waiting parents. Additionally, exam rooms were equipped with wall clocks and extra rough sheets--including versions for left-handed candidates--while extended time had been allotted to offset the necessary entry formalities. The re-examination was necessitated following the alleged paper leak case, which is being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The agency has made several arrests in connection with the case. (ANI)
