The NEET-UG paper leak case could have been prevented if the National Testing Agency (NTA) had acted on the complaint made by a Latur-based NEET and engineering counselling centre in April. Those in charge of the centre claimed agents were helping students secure exam centres of their choice.

According to the Latur-based counselling centre ‘Admission Made Easy’, it filed a complaint with the NTA via email on April 23 this year. In the complaint, it highlighted the malpractices going on in the NEET-UG exams. The emails sent to the NTA states, “Students and parents have doubts that many malpractices are taking place in the NEET exam. Some students opt for an exam centre located 800-1,000 km or more away from the state where they live.”
