NEW DELHI, June 21 (ANI) —
The NEET-UG re-examination concluded on Sunday with students reporting that Physics was the most challenging section, while Biology was generally easy to moderate and Chemistry ranged from manageable to difficult.
Students from Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Kerala, Jammu and Kashmir, and other states said the overall paper appeared tougher than the earlier attempt, though experiences varied based on individual strengths. While some candidates described the exam as moderate and manageable, others said it tested time management, particularly in Physics.
Despite differing views on difficulty levels, students said examination arrangements at centres were smooth and expressed cautious optimism about their performance.

A candidate from West Bengal said, “The exam was good. Biology was easy, and Physics and Chemistry were moderate. It was better last time.”
From Thiruvananthapuram, a student said, “The exam was tough, from moderate to tough. Physics was tough. Chemistry was doable but time-consuming, and Biology was doable.”

Approximately over 22 lakh students appeared for the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination held across the country and in 14 international locations, following the cancellation of the initial May 3 exam due to paper leak allegations.
The re-examination was ordered after alleged irregularities in the exam, which are being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Several arrests have been made in connection with the case. (ANI)
