The NEET-UG retest is being held today for over 1,500 candidates in six cities following allegations of irregularities in the medical entrance exams, including paper leaks. The National Testing Agency (NTA) and Union Education ministry officials are also present at the examination centres.

The retest for the medical entrance exam is being conducted after the agency withdrew grace marks awarded to students who were compensated for the loss of time due to delay in the start of the examination at six centres across the country. Six students scored perfect 720 marks along with 61 others leading to allegations of inflation of marks which has now sparked a political row. 

Late Saturday evening, the Home Ministry also postponed the NEET-PG examinations, which was scheduled today. The government said the fresh dates would be announced soon, adding that the decision was taken in the best interests of students and to maintain the sanctity of examination.
