New Delhi, May 19: Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday chaired a high-level review meeting to assess preparations for the forthcoming NEET (UG) Re-Examination.

Recently, the National Testing Agency (NTA) announced that the re-examination for NEET-UG 2026 will be conducted on June 21, after the medical entrance examination was cancelled over alleged paper leaks.

Stressing the need for complete integrity and transparency in the conduct of the examination, Pradhan directed that all gaps identified in the earlier examination process must be comprehensively addressed and eliminated.

The Minister emphasised that the Re-NEET examination must be conducted in a secure, seamless and fool proof manner under stringent security protocols. Directions were also issued to hold coordination meetings with District Magistrates and Superintendents of Police across States to ensure robust monitoring and effective implementation of examination arrangements.

While underscoring that vigilance and security at examination centres must remain uncompromised, Pradhan also instructed officials to ensure adequate arrangements for students, including transportation, drinking water and other essential facilities.
