NEET-UG 2024 Paper Leak: 24 Lakh Students Betrayed. What Is the Fix?

The NEET-UG 2024 medical entrance examination was compromised by a massive paper leak that affected approximately 24 lakh (2.4 million) students across India. Students in Bihar and other states received question papers hours before the exam through WhatsApp groups. 67 students scored a perfect 720/720 — an unprecedented statistical anomaly that pointed directly to cheating. The NTA (National Testing Agency) initially denied any wrongdoing, then the Supreme Court of India intervened. Protests erupted in Delhi, Patna, Mumbai, and across the country. Years of preparation by honest students were made worthless overnight.
