    What is actually true

    The Ministry of Education told the Lok Sabha on 26 March 2025 that after NEET (UG) 2024 the CBI filed five charge sheets in the paper theft case against 45 accused [7]. The same parliamentary answer quoted the Supreme Court's 2 August 2024 order saying there was no material on record indicating a systemic leak or widespread malpractice [7]. For NEET-UG 2026, the CBI said on 15 May 2026 that students paid several lakhs of rupees to attend classes where leaked question banks were dictated, but it did not give a ₹30-lakh figure [8].

    • In the 2024 NEET case, accused persons admitted that the question paper was leaked about 24 hours before the exam to those who paid ₹30–32 lakh, according to an interrogation report cited in a news account [2]. [2]
    • In 2026, India Today reported that two Rajasthan brothers allegedly bought the NEET-UG paper from a Gurugram doctor for ₹30 lakh about a week before the exam [3]. [3]
    • The Supreme Court held in its 2 August 2024 order, quoted in Parliament, that sufficient material was not on record to indicate a systemic leak or systemic malpractice, and that the material did not substantiate allegations of widespread malpractice [7]. [7]
    • The CBI filed five charge sheets against 45 accused in the NEET (UG) 2024 paper theft case, and identified candidates who were beneficiaries of the paper theft or unfair means [7]. [7]
    • For NEET-UG 2026, the CBI said students paid several lakhs of rupees to attend special coaching classes where leaked question banks were dictated, but it did not say the exam was sold for ₹30 lakhs [8]. [8]

    The exact ₹30-lakh figure appears in media reports about alleged deals in 2024 and 2026, not in the official record. More importantly, saying the NEET exam itself was sold overstates the matter: the Supreme Court's order quoted in Parliament found no evidence of a systemic leak in 2024, even as officials recorded paper theft and unfair-means cases. The title would need to specify that a question paper was allegedly sold, rather than the exam as a whole.
