Tight security as Indian students resit medical exam after alleged paper leak

Indian medical students are retaking a critical entrance exam, the NEET-UG, under heightened security measures following allegations of a paper leak in the previous exam. The exam, essential for admission to medical colleges, was canceled after the initial test was compromised, leading to widespread frustration among students and calls for the Education Minister to resign. To prevent further leaks, authorities have implemented strict security protocols, including biometric checks, metal detectors, armed patrols, and jamming devices to block mobile signals. The Indian Air Force transported the new exam papers to certain regions, and platforms like Telegram were temporarily blocked. Despite these precautions, some students remain anxious about potential issues recurring.
