The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET-UG) re-test sees a major turnout drop, with more than 2.7 lakh candidates not appearing, reported as the highest absentee figure for such a re-examination. The re-conducted exam takes place on June 21 after the earlier NEET-UG examination held on May 3 was cancelled by the National Testing Agency (NTA). Multiple reports attribute the cancellation to allegations of a paper leak. For the June 21 re-test, 19,99,895 candidates appear. This is lower than the 22.05 lakh candidates who had taken the original NEET-UG examination on May 3. The difference is presented by the sources as over 2.7 lakh candidates skipping the re-test. Both reports frame the re-test as the response to the cancellation decision and highlight the gap in participation between the original attempt and the re-examination.
