No exact authority-hosted question-paper file was found for the 2021 to 2026 events in the official source stack that was searched. A downloadable coaching-site file is not promoted into an official paper simply because it can be opened. Instead, each recent event links to a copy that was individually validated for event identity, paper code, question count, duration, mark total and subject structure, with the source owner shown beside the action.
- Anonymous file shares, user-upload sites and scraped mirrors are rejected outright.
- A copy is never relabelled as an authority file.
- For the 2020 examination the papers link to verified authority-hosted files. For the 2021 to 2026 events, Rank Sarthi hosts eight question-paper copies by paper code, each labelled Rank Sarthi-hosted Question Paper and never presented as an official NTA file. Hosting a validated copy does not by itself establish permission to redistribute it: the redistribution rights review for those copies is still open.
