The latest news, shared on social media on Friday, came less than 24 hours after Prime Minister Modi released a late-night video addressing concerns over the leak of exam documents and the government’s proposed response to the issue.
On 23 July, Modi said in a nearly three-minute long video message shared on social media that the paper leaks had caused immense suffering to students and their families and stressed that the government was determined to prevent such incidents in the future.
“The paper leak is not an insignificant problem. It has caused immense pain to millions of students and their parents,” the prime minister said.
Referring to the NEET-UG 2026 controversy, PM Modi said the government’s immediate priority is to ensure that students do not lose an academic year.
“Our main responsibility was to ensure that students did not lose an academic year. It was essential to conduct the exams as soon as possible,” he said.
The Prime Minister said that the government has mobilized its full administrative machinery to conduct the examinations for nearly 2.2 million students in the shortest possible time.
“The government has used its full capacity to organize exams for nearly 2.2 million students in the shortest possible time. Just five or six days ago, on the 19th, the results were announced and there are reports from all over the country of successful candidates celebrating their achievements,” he said.
Prime Minister Modi said authorities had already cracked down on those allegedly involved in the paper leak, with several accused arrested and sent to jail, but said punitive measures alone were insufficient.
