Medical Colleges Asked Not To Grant Leave To Students During NEET-UG Re-exam Period

The National Medical Commission has directed all medical colleges and institutions under its purview not to grant leave to students on June 20 and 21, except in exceptional circumstances, to support the fair conduct of the NEET-UG re-exam on Sunday.

The move comes in the backdrop of some instances when students of medical colleges were found to be involved in activities that could compromise the sanctity and integrity of the examination process, the Commission said



in a notice issued on Thursday.

The communication has been sent to the deans and principals of all medical colleges and institutions under the commission's purview.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) had cancelled the NEET (UG) 2026 exam held on May 3 amid allegations of paper leak, with the government asking the CBI to carry out a comprehensive inquiry into the irregularities. The NEET (UG) re-examination is scheduled for June 21.
