Overview
- On June 21, more than two million candidates sat the NEET‑UG re-examination at 5,440 centres in 551 Indian cities and 14 overseas locations.
- The National Testing Agency layered technical and human safeguards, including 138,560 CCTV cameras with AI analysis, 51,311 signal jammers, Aadhaar biometric and face authentication, frisking teams, and live and virtual observers.
- Central and state police, CAPF units, the Indian Air Force, the Department of Posts and banking partners handled secure paper transport and centre logistics, though public reports differed about total staff numbers with NTA citing about 2.5 lakh personnel and other outlets reporting up to roughly 7 lakh.
- Operational frictions affected some candidates: several missed entry after the 1:30 pm cutoff because of travel problems or accidents, and a reported burqa entry dispute was later resolved with the candidate admitted.
- The CBI investigation into the original May 3 leak remains active with multiple arrests, answer‑sheet evaluation has begun, and NTA officials have signalled a compressed timetable to publish results.
