Paper Leak: NTA Debars Latur Coaching Centre Owner's Son From NEET-UG Exam for 2 Years
NTA also withheld Aditya Motegaonkar’s retest result and declared him ineligible for NEET-UG 2027 amid CBI allegations of a Rs 5 lakh question leak.
- The National Testing Agency debarred Aditya Motegaonkar from the NEET-UG examination for two years, per a September 19 communication, rendering him ineligible for the 2027 test.
- According to the CBI, Shivraj Motegaonkar allegedly paid ₹5 lakh to procure chemistry questions from P.V. Kulkarni, who served on the NTA panel; Shivraj remains in judicial custody.
- Following the June 21 re-examination, the NTA withheld Aditya's results and sought explanations over alleged irregularities. Aditya denied using unfair means, contending the notice addressed only the May 3 exam.
- Last month, the CBI submitted its final report to a designated fast-track court in Delhi addressing "criminal cases arising from paper leaks as well as the use of other unfair means in public examinations."
- This debarment underscores the NTA's ongoing efforts to address examination irregularities following the cancellation of the May 3 test, protecting the integrity of the medical entrance process.
