# Centre Considers Computer-Based NEET-UG After Paper Leak Allegations 2026-08-06T11:35:14+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A Delhi special fast-track court has reserved its order until August 10 on a plea by three accused in the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak case seeking polygraph, brain-mapping and lie-detector tests. The CBI opposed the plea and said a special court had been set up for a speedy trial. The agency is investigating an alleged multi-state network involving couriers, messaging platforms and coaching networks. The Supreme Court will hear the wider NEET-UG matter on August 19. The Centre told the court that moving the medical entrance test from pen and paper to computer-based testing, in one or two stages like JEE, is under active consideration. It said the final plan would consider recommendations from a Nandan Nilekani-led task force. The CBI is probing the leak allegations. ## Coverage - freepressjournal.in - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: exam reforms, medical admissions, NEET-UG, NTA, paper leak Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/centre-considers-computer-based-neet-ug-after-paper-leak-allegations/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
