Delhi-based medical aspirant Umama Ilhaq appeared for the NEET-UG exam for the third time on May 3 this year. All three of her attempts since 2024 have been marred with either operational issues or allegations of paper leaks.
However, this year, the National Testing Agency (NTA) cancelled the exam altogether. Umama said that when she saw the news about the cancellation of the 2026 NEET-UG exam, she felt disappointed but not surprised. “It has become the new normal.”
This was supposed to be her last attempt. “I really thought I am past this exam, but now I will have to appear again. I feel like my time is not being respected.”
