CBI finds 111 NEET-UG questions on Latur tutor's phone matched NTA master set

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has informed a Delhi court that 111 out of 136 questions found on a Latur-based tutor's phone matched the National Testing Agency's (NTA) master set for the NEET-UG 2026 examination.
This confirmation establishes a significant security breach and a major paper leak in the NEET-UG examination, compromising the overall integrity of the test.
The CBI presented these facts during proceedings in the Delhi court, pointing to the mobile phone of the tutor located in Latur. Upon analyzing the device, investigators discovered 136 questions. A subsequent comparison with the NTA's master set revealed that 111 of those questions were a direct match.
The match confirms that the examination papers were compromised. The Delhi court received the update from the CBI as part of the ongoing legal scrutiny into the paper leak. The involvement of the Latur-based tutor and the matching questions from the NTA's master set are central to the case.
The National Testing Agency, which is responsible for organizing the NEET-UG exam, faces intense scrutiny following the security breach. The CBI's findings presented in the Delhi court show that a substantial portion of the exam paper was leaked and accessed prior to the test.
With 111 questions matching the official master set, the leak represents a severe compromise of the NEET-UG 2026 examination. The Delhi court is continuing to hear the matter as the CBI presents further details of the investigation into the tutor from Latur and the security breach of the NTA master set.
The impact of the leak has raised serious concerns about the fairness of the NEET-UG 2026 exam. The matching of 111 out of 136 questions on the Latur tutor's phone to the NTA master set remains a key piece of evidence in the CBI's case before the Delhi court.
