The NEET UG 2024 exam, embroiled in the paper leak case, is still under serious scrutiny after reports of large-scale cheating and malpractice. Acting on this, the National Medical Commission has ordered the suspension of 26 MBBS students who had indulged in malpractices during the examination.

In addition, the Commission has also cancelled the admission of fourteen students for the 2024-25 academic session, the official sources confirmed in a PTI report.

The National Testing Agency, which conducts the test, has also debarred 12 candidates for a few years and suspended the candidature of over 200 students.

After months of legal scrutiny, the Supreme Court closed proceedings on NEET UG 2024 last month after the Centre agreed to implement most expert panel suggestions to improve the exam system.
