NEET-UG 2026: NTA Tightens Security With Biometric Verification, 5G Jammers - Video

With the NEET-UG 2026 exam just days away, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has rolled out a robust, multi-layered security system to ensure a “leak-proof” examination. Covering everything from registration to exam centres, the new framework includes biometric verification, facial recognition, and Aadhaar-based authentication to prevent impersonation.

AI-powered surveillance cameras will monitor candidate behaviour in real time, while 5G jammers and strict frisking protocols aim to block any unauthorised communication or devices inside centres, according to Deccan Herald.

To further strengthen security, question papers will be transported under GPS tracking and secured with digital locks that open only at authorised times and locations. CCTV monitoring, police escort, and vigilance outside centres add additional layers of protection. The move comes in response to the NEET-UG 2024 paper leak controversy, which raised serious concerns over exam integrity. With over 22 lakh candidates appearing this year, authorities have emphasised strict compliance, aiming to restore trust and ensure a fair, transparent examination process.
