Agartala, 3 May 2026 — Serious allegations of mismanagement surfaced during the All India NEET examination held at Maharaja Bir Bikram College in Agartala when officials discovered that biometric data for several candidates had not been recorded. The oversight came to light at about 5:15 p.m., shortly after the exam ended, prompting immediate concern over the integrity of the examination process.
Invigilators and security staff realized the omission only after many candidates had already left the centre. In a hurried attempt to correct the error, officials began calling back examinees who had completed the test to complete biometric verification, an essential step in the NEET seating and identification protocol.
The incident has prompted anger and worry among parents and candidates, who warned that such negligence at a national-level medical entrance exam could have serious repercussions. Many expressed demands for clear answers about how the lapse occurred and what steps will be taken to protect candidates’ records and exam validity.
The episode has raised broader questions about accountability at the exam centre and the responsibility of exam authorities to ensure proper conduct and secure biometric procedures. Stakeholders are calling for transparency and a prompt explanation from those overseeing the NEET administration at Maharaja Bir Bikram College.
