Unlike the UGC-NET, which was cancelled a day after being held over concerns that the exam's integrity might have been compromised, the Education Ministry decided not to cancel the NEET despite allegations of irregularities. Explaining the rationale behind this decision, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan argued that the leak impacted only a limited number of students, unlike broader leaks in 2004 and 2015, which led to exam cancellations. "Cancelling...would affect lakhs of students who cleared the examination rightfully," Pradhan stated.
