Chennai, May 13 -- Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, on Wednesday, called for the abolition of NEET following the leak of the NEET-UG 2026 question paper, asserting that the recurring irregularities have "shattered the hopes" of lakhs of medical aspirants across the country.

This is conclusive proof of flaws and structural flaws in a national-level exam," said Vijay.
