The Central Govt has entrusted the matter of alleged irregularities in NEET (UG) Examination 2024 to CBI for the investigation.

In an official press release, the Ministry of Education stated that “certain cases of alleged irregularities/cheating/impersonation have been reported” as regards the NEET UG exam held on May 5.
