On 5 May 2024, NEET-UG faced allegations of question paper leaks. While social media posts claimed the exam questions were leaked, the NTA denied these allegations. In Patna, Bihar, police arrested 13 people, including four examinees, who had allegedly paid ₹30 to ₹50 lakh to obtain the question paper beforehand. In Godhra, Gujarat, a raid at an exam center revealed that a teacher, who was also the deputy superintendent, instructed students not to answer questions they didn’t know, promising to fill in the answers. Five people were arrested, and it was discovered that candidates from multiple states had taken the exam at this center.

On 23 July, the Supreme Court of India ruled that there were no indications of an overall systemic failure, barring a few circumstances. The Court denied any large-scale leak of the NEET (UG) 2024 paper and ruled that there would be no re-examination, as there were no credible reports of widespread issues.
