Madras HC Orders Interim Stay on NEET 2025 Results Declaration
Madras High Court
Chennai: Even though the Madhya Pradesh High Court recently gave clearance to the National Testing Agency (NTA) to release the results for the National Eligibility-Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET-UG) 2025 examination for all but 11 centres, the Madras High Court has now issued an interim stay in this regard.
After hearing the plea of several students who were affected due to a power cut at an examination centre based in Chennai, the Madras HC bench comprising Justice V Lakshminarayanan granted an interim stay restraining the authorities from releasing the NEET UG 2025 results. The matter has now been scheduled for further hearing on June 02, 2025.
According to the students, due to storm and heavy rainfall, there had been a power outage at PM Shri Kendriya Vidyalaya CRPF-Avadi, Chennai, which was their examination centre, from approximately 3.00 PM to 4.15 PM on the day of the exam i.e. May 4, 2025.
In their affidavit submitted before the HC, 13 petitioner students claimed that there were no backup facilities such as generators or inverters. They submitted, "We were forced to write the examination under poor lighting conditions, and rainwater entered the examination hall, causing further disruption as we were asked to move from the assigned seats."
