Regarding the two errors, one question has been dropped entirely, while another has been revised after it was found to have more than one correct answer, according to the final answer keys of the June 21 question paper.
One of the disputed questions involved a Vernier calipers problem that asked candidates to determine the length of a wire based on the instrument’s reading. After reviewing objections, the NTA decided to drop the question from the final answer key.
The second revision relates to a question on electromagnetic waves. The agency found that both options 3 and 4 were correct, instead of a single correct answer as originally indicated.

Over 2 million medical aspirants appeared for NEET-UG 2026 re-examination on June 21 after the original examination was held on May 3. NTA announced the re-examination on May 15 after receiving an email on May 8 alleging a leak and noting overlaps between a circulated guess paper and the May 3 question paper. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), probing the alleged leak, has arrested 13 people so far and will file its charge sheet this month.
