Allegations of question paper leaks were made against NEET-UG on May 5, 2024. Despite claims on social media that the exam questions were leaked, the NTA refuted these claims. Four examinees and 13 other people were detained by the police in Patna, Bihar. The examinees had reportedly paid between ₹30 and ₹50 lakh to receive the question paper in advance. Upon conducting a raid at a NEET-UG exam centre in Godhra, Gujarat, it was discovered that the deputy superintendent, who was also a teacher, had given students instructions not to answer questions they were unsure of and had promised to fill them in. Candidates from several states had taken the exam at this centre, and five people were taken into custody. The Central Bureau of Investigation was given custody of the cases (CBI).
