The facts
Following the NEET controversy, NTA removed 47 officials and began recruiting specialised personnel through UPSC’s Pratibha Setu platform.59
NTA also replaced 600 question-setting experts and introduced four-tier question-paper scrutiny, strengthening institutional accountability beyond action against external intermediaries.60
The amended anti-paper-leak law mandates two-month investigations and three-month fast-track trials, with organised fraud punishable by seven-to-ten years’ imprisonment.61
In the NEET-UG 2026 investigation, authorities registered four FIRs and arrested 33 people, while the CBI placed its chargesheet before a fast-track court.
Individual criminality and process vulnerabilities require prosecution; they do not prove that every institution forms one criminal chain.
