The National Testing Agency (NTA) has come forward to clarify that the recent reports of a question paper leak in the medical entrance exam NEET-UG are completely false. In a statement on Monday, the agency emphasized that there is no truth to these claims and that all question papers have been accounted for.
According to the NTA, images of a supposed leaked question paper have been circulating on social media, causing panic among students and parents. However, the agency has confirmed that these images have no connection to the actual exam paper.
Sadhana Parashar, the Senior Director of NTA, stated that the agency's strict security protocols and standard operating procedures make it impossible for any outside person or agency to access the exam centres once the examination begins. She also mentioned that the exam halls are under constant CCTV surveillance, ensuring that there is no tampering with the question papers.
Parashar further added that after the gates of the exam centres are closed, no one is allowed to enter the halls from outside. Therefore, the agency assures that there is no way for the question papers to be leaked during the exam.
In response to the photographs of question papers circulating on social media, the NTA has clarified that they have no relation to the actual exam paper that was administered. These are merely false and misleading images that have been shared without any basis.
The NEET-UG exam was conducted on Sunday at 4,750 centres in 571 cities, including 14 cities abroad. However, the NTA had reported an incident at an exam centre in Rajasthan where wrong question papers were distributed to some candidates, leading to them walking out with the papers. The agency has assured that this was an isolated incident and the integrity of the exam was not compromised. The exam was later reconducted for the affected candidates at the centre.
In conclusion, the NTA has reassured the public that the NEET-UG exam was conducted with utmost confidentiality and the agency has taken all necessary measures to ensure the fair and smooth conduct of the exam. They urge everyone to ignore any false information or rumours and trust in the integrity of the examination process.
