Anand Kumar has called for strict action against coaching centres after the cancellation of NEET-UG 2026 over alleged irregularities. He said repeated exam controversies lower students’ morale and damage trust in the system. Kumar urged the government to adopt tougher rules similar to China, where authorities closely regulate coaching institutes and use strong anti-cheating measures. The National Testing Agency cancelled the exam held on May 3 and ordered a re-test. The Central Bureau of Investigation is now investigating the alleged paper leak. (PC: ITG)
