CBI investigators have charged three NTA subject experts for their direct involvement in the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak, revealing a sophisticated breach of exam security.
The investigation found that questions were leaked via handwritten chits and specific markings on NCERT textbooks, which were then distributed to select candidates.
This revelation has intensified calls for a complete overhaul of the NTA's testing protocols to ensure the integrity of future medical entrance examinations.
