: The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has restricted access to the Telegram app in India until June 22, 2026, after recommendations from the National Testing Agency ahead of the NEET (UG) 2026 re-examination on June 21.
Additionally, Telegram is required to disable its message-editing feature for existing messages until June 30.
The NTA, in a press release issued on Tuesday, said the measures have been taken "in the interest of public order, in response to the organised use of the platform by cheating rackets to defraud candidates appearing for the re-examination."
