New Delhi | May 6, 2025 – In a shocking revelation that’s shaking India’s medical education system, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has cancelled the admissions of 14 students and suspended 26 MBBS students in connection with the NEET UG 2024 paper leak scandal.
The action follows months of investigation into malpractice in one of India’s most competitive entrance exams — the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET UG). The National Testing Agency (NTA) has also debarred dozens of candidates from future attempts.
