The NTA director general announced that a four-member high-level committee is currently investigating the matter, which involves around 1,600 candidates from six different centers. The decision on what action to take, including a possible review, will be based on the findings of the commission.

The controversy, fueled by the NEET-UG results released on June 4, has caused unrest among medical aspirants and the public. Many are calling for the exam to be canceled and a retest conducted in order to maintain the fairness and integrity of the process.
