New Delhi : The cancellation of NEET-UG 2026 has triggered outrage and anxiety among lakhs of students across the country, but one of the sharpest reactions came from educator Khan Sir, who launched a blistering attack on the National Testing Agency. Reacting to the cancellation of the May 3 medical entrance examination amid allegations of irregularities and paper leaks, Khan Sir questioned the credibility of the NTA, criticised the handling of previous investigations and spoke at length about the emotional and financial toll on students and families.
The most unfortunate thing is that just two years ago, in 2024, the exact same incidents occurred. A CBI inquiry was conducted, yet it yielded absolutely no results. The government agencies should be aware of this. The agency that we have given to conduct the exam, they don’t even understand whether they have been given to conduct the exam or leak it, he said. In one of his most viral remarks, he mocked the security systems around the examination process.
And who will investigate this? CBI. When will CBI get rid of us? If this goes to CBI, their investigation will continue till the MBBS of the kids is completed. He demanded that a retired Supreme Court judge be appointed to monitor the case. A retired judge of the Supreme Court should be made an observer of this. Whoever is responsible should be severely punished. If he is not punished, tomorrow some other state will be named here. Ultimately, the future of the kids will be ruined because of this.
The Prime Minister should be personally involved in this. The Supreme Court should also come forward in this, he said. The educator repeatedly spoke about the psychological impact of the cancellation on students, especially those who had expected high scores. Think what will happen to those kids whose marks were coming above 700, whose marks were coming above 650,” he said.
Khan Sir narrated the story of a student whose mother died in January but who continued preparing for NEET after being encouraged by teachers. “We motivated him so much. We told him study, everything in your house will become fine if you crack a good exam. Today, how will we go to that kid? We do not have the courage to stand in front of him. He will break. Think about the girls. They are afraid that one phone call from home could end their studies and they may be forced into marriage, he said.
