The NTA said the student will be reassigned to Nagpur after a revised admit card mistakenly listed Abu Dhabi as the exam centre.
- On Saturday, June 20, 2026, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized the Modi government and the National Testing Agency after a Nagpur student was assigned an exam center in Abu Dhabi for the NEET-UG re-exam.

- The incident follows the May 3 NEET-UG exam cancellation amid paper leak allegations. Gandhi recently launched a signature campaign to amplify student demands regarding high fees and exam integrity, seeking greater accountability from authorities.
