The NTA has can-celled the UGC-NET 2024 examination just a day after it was conducted citing  compromise of the examination’s integrity.

The minister of education cited the National Cyber Crime Threat Analytics Unit of the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre.

A fresh examination will be conducted after giving new information of the day. The matter is being handed over to CBI, for a through investigation in the matter.

On the other hand, some candidates were also arrested in the case.

Anurag Yadav, the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) candidate arrested in connection with the result irregularities, has admitted that the leaked question paper provided to him matched the actual exam question paper.

In a confession letter, accessed exclusively by India Today, 22-year-old Yadav, the nephew of an engineer deployed at Bihar's Danapur Town Council (Danapur Nagar Parishad), said his relative Sikandar Prasad Yadavendu told him all arrangements for the exam had been done.

Yadav also said he was provided with the leaked question paper of the NEET exam, along with the answers.

When he sat for the exam and was provided the actual question paper, it matched with the one his uncle provided, the student claimed in the letter.
