NEET’s shift to computer-based testing faces single-shift hurdle

The National Testing Agency's (NTA) plan to shift NEET-UG to computer-based testing faces a hurdle due to a health ministry condition that requires any online exam to be conducted in a single shift. This condition is proving impossible to meet for a test administered to 2.3 million candidates. The NTA has cancelled the NEET (UG) 2026 exam amid allegations of paper leak and is ready to conduct the exam in computer-based testing mode if instructed by the health ministry.
