<p>The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has taken over the investigation into alleged irregularities in the NEET exam, following backlash against the National Testing Agency (NTA) and widespread outrage over the NEET-UG 2024 marking system. In response to the controversy, the Education Ministry cancelled the NEET-PG 2024 and UGC-NET exams, further fueling public anger. To address these issues, the government formed a seven-member panel to review and suggest reforms for the NTA and removed NTA Director General Subodh Kumar Singh from his position. Additionally, a new law has been enacted to combat malpractice in competitive exams, with penalties including up to 10 years in prison and fines up to ₹1 crore.</p>
