NEET UG 2026 scam allegation: Brokers accused of offering government medical seats through OMR sheet manipulation

A fresh complaint has alleged that brokers promised government medical college admissions by manipulating NEET UG 2026 OMR sheets in exchange for large payments.

Published

on

NEET Exam

The controversy surrounding NEET UG 2026 has taken a new turn after allegations surfaced that a group of brokers was offering admission to government medical colleges by manipulating candidates’ OMR answer sheets for a hefty payment. The claims come at a time when the medical entrance examination is already under intense scrutiny following the paper leak row and the subsequent decision to conduct a re-examination.

According to reports, a candidate from Gujarat approached authorities after allegedly being contacted by intermediaries who claimed they could secure enough marks for admission to a government medical college by tampering with OMR sheets. The alleged demand was around Rs. 20 lakh per candidate.

Alleged racket avoided promises of top ranks

The complainant claimed that the brokers did not offer unrealistically high scores or top ranks. Instead, they allegedly promised to increase marks only to the extent required for securing admission to a government medical college, a strategy reportedly designed to avoid raising suspicion during scrutiny.

The matter has reportedly been brought to the attention of the Gujarat Cyber Crime Cell through a written complaint, prompting calls for a detailed investigation into the claims.

OMR manipulation concerns have surfaced before

The allegations have renewed concerns about the security of OMR-based examinations. In recent years, courts and investigating agencies have examined multiple cases involving alleged OMR manipulation linked to medical entrance examinations. The Gujarat High Court recently observed that allegations in a NEET-UG 2024 OMR manipulation case warranted a full trial after investigators claimed students’ answer sheets were altered to inflate scores.

Authorities have also previously received complaints from candidates alleging discrepancies in uploaded OMR sheets, though such claims have been disputed by examination authorities in several instances.

NEET UG 2026 already facing scrutiny

The latest allegations come against the backdrop of the wider NEET UG 2026 controversy. The examination conducted on May 3 was cancelled following allegations of a paper leak, and a fresh examination has been scheduled for June 21. Multiple investigations are underway, while courts and parliamentary bodies are also examining issues related to the conduct of the exam.

Authorities have not publicly confirmed the OMR manipulation allegations, and investigations are expected to determine whether any such network was actually capable of influencing examination outcomes.

Kerala LSS USS result 2026: Official website slow? Check how to download scorecard online

The Kerala CM Kids LSS USS result 2026 has been declared online. Here is a comprehensive troubleshooting guide and step-by-step process to download your scorecard if the official portal bpekerala.in is down or unresponsive.

Results

The Kerala Public Examination Section has officially announced the Kerala CM Kids LSS and USS result 2026. The scorecard link is live for candidates who sat for the scholarship eligibility examinations conducted in February 2026.

However, shortly after the declaration, several students and parents encountered difficulties trying to log onto the main portal, bpekerala.in. Due to a massive surge in simultaneous traffic from eager candidates, the official website has experienced temporary server slowdowns, loading delays, and intermittent error screens. Media reports indicate that the portal might stay slow during peak hours, but authorities ensure that the result data is perfectly safe and live online.

👉 Click Here to Check Kerala LSS USS Result 2026

Why the Kerala LSS USS result website is slow

Technical glitches right after a major result declaration are quite common due to infrastructural limitations during peak traffic. Some of the primary factors contributing to the current loading errors include:

  • High visitor traffic: Thousands of students trying to load the homepage simultaneously.
  • Server overload: Simultaneous database requests leading to temporary unresponsive servers.
  • Mobile compatibility limitations: Heavy traffic coupled with certain mobile browsers causing slow rendering times.

Step-by-step guide to download Kerala LSS USS result 2026

If you are experiencing slow loading speeds on the primary web server, you can carefully try the following steps to download your marksheet:

  • Step 1: Navigate to the official website at bpekerala.in and let the landing page load completely without interrupting.
  • Step 2: Find and click on the link labeled “CM Kids LSS USS Result 2026” or head directly to the dedicated “Results” tab on the interface.
  • Step 3: Enter your accurate credentials, which include your Registration Number and Date of Birth (formatted as DD/MM/YYYY), precisely as mentioned in your original hall ticket.
  • Step 4: Click on the “Submit” or “View Result” button. If the screen takes time to process, avoid refreshing multiple times as it can block your session.
  • Step 5: Once your breakdown of scores appears on the dashboard, download the digital copy or capture a screenshot, then print a physical copy for any future administrative or school needs.

Alternative links and troubleshooting tips

If bpekerala.in fails to open entirely, candidates are advised not to panic. A backup official digital platform has been set up to ease the main server load. Students can log into pareekshabhavan.kerala.gov.in to access mirrored links for checking their LSS and USS scholarship scores.

Additionally, you can follow these easy technical fixes to bypass server bottlenecks:

  • Clear browser data: Empty your browser cache or open the link using an Incognito/Private window.
  • Change connectivity: Switch your internet connection from mobile data to a stable Wi-Fi connection, or vice versa, to reset data routing.
  • Switch your browser: Try alternative web browsers like Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome instead of default system web viewers.
  • Check during off-peak windows: Wait for about 15 to 30 minutes and re-attempt during non-peak windows when server traffic naturally drops down.

CBSE makes three languages mandatory for Classes 9 and 10 from July 1

CBSE has announced that students in Classes 9 and 10 must study three languages from July 1, 2026, though no board examination will be conducted for the third language during the initial rollout.

Published

CBSE

The Central Board of Secondary Education has announced that students in Classes 9 and 10 will be required to study three languages from July 1, 2026, as part of the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCFSE) 2023.

Under the revised structure, students will study languages under the R1, R2 and R3 format. The board has clarified that two of the three languages must be Indian languages.

However, CBSE has stated that there will be no Class 10 board examination for the third language, also referred to as R3, during the initial phase of implementation.

What the new language structure means

According to the updated curriculum framework, students will choose three different languages. The same language cannot be selected at more than one level simultaneously.

The board has explained the structure as:

  • R1: Any language offered by CBSE
  • R2: A language different from R1
  • R3: A third language different from both R1 and R2

The move is aimed at promoting multilingual education in line with NEP 2020 recommendations.

No board exam for third language initially

CBSE has clarified that although the third language will become mandatory for Classes 9 and 10, students will not immediately face a board examination for R3 in Class 10.

Reports said the full implementation of the three-language board examination structure is expected to happen gradually over the coming years.

Schools asked to prepare for rollout

The board has already directed schools to finalise language options and upload details on the OASIS portal to ensure smooth implementation of the revised policy.

CBSE has also indicated that temporary textbook arrangements and interim measures for language teacher shortages may be introduced during the transition phase.
