“Where the instances of ‘paper leak’ are being claimed are completely false and it is being done just to sensationalise news. In an isolated incident at Girls Higher Secondary Adarsh Vidya Mandir, Mantown, Sawai Madhopur, students were given English medium question paper by mistake and by the time the invigilator was correcting the mistake, students forcefully walked out of the exam hall with the question paper.

As per the rules students are only allowed to exit the hall with the question paper after the exam, but some students walked out forcefully. Due to this, the question paper was circulated on the internet around 4 pm, but by that time the exam had already started at all other stations across the country. So, there has not been any ‘leak’ of NEET UG question paper,” a senior NTA official told indianexpress.com.
