Candidates who appeared for the National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET-UG) on July 17 in Rajasthan’s Sri Ganganagar district alleged a question paper goof-up. They claimed that the question papers for Hindi and English medium students were interchanged.
According to the Indian Express, an NTA official confirmed the question paper mix-up, but students were given extra time to complete their papers after the error occurred. However, the exam centre superintendent recommends NTA for a re-test.

As per the student’s statement, he completed the entire examination in two and a half hours, but the authorities soon took away everyone’s question paper and replaced it with the one meant for English medium students.
