Madras HC permits NEET applicant to wear diaper in NEET exam on May 5

The Madras High Court has granted permission to a NEET-UG applicant with special needs to wear a diaper and change it as required during the exam on May 5. The decision came during the hearing of a case involving a 19-year-old MBBS aspirant who suffered facial injuries from scalding by hot oil at the age of four and is currently undergoing treatment for LETM/NMO/spectrum disorder/neurogenic bladder. Her doctor confirmed her lack of urine control, necessitating continuous diaper use with frequent changes.
