New Delhi, May 16 -- The National Entrance cum Eligibility Test-Undergraduate or NEET-UG will be conducted by National Testing Agency (NTA) in Computer Based Test (CBT) mode from next year instead of pen paper test (PPT) mode in which students answer the questions in a Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) sheet, Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan announced on Friday. In his first statement after NTA on May 12 cancelled NEET-UG 2026 (held on May 3) following paper leak allegations, Pradhan said that candidates will get 15 extra minutes to write their re-examination of NEET on June 21. He also said that the government is taking responsibility for a "breach in command" despite following recommendations of the Radhakrishnan committee - a seven member committee set up after the NEET-UG 2024 paper leak controversy to strengthen NTA. Pradhan said that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will "go deep" into the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak matter and "no one will be spared this time. No one was spared last time also." "Despite implementation of Radhakrishnan committee's recommendations, this incident occurred. The root cause of this is Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) based examination. From next year, the NEET examination will happen in CBT (Computer-Based Test) mode," Pradhan said while addressing a press conference at his residence. NTA had on May 12 cancelled NEET-UG 2026 , a decision that came after at least 120 questions in a "guess paper" were found to overlap with the May 3 examination paper. Pradhan said that the admit card for re-examination of NEET will be released by June 14 and students will be given 15 minutes extra time in the June 21 examination. P4...
