No NEET 2025 re-exam: Madras HC dismisses plea, says 22 lakh candidates can't be affected - Video

The Madras High Court recently dismissed a plea seeking re-examination of the National Eligibility-Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET) while observing that if any re-exam is permitted on trivial grounds, the same would seriously affect the level playing field of around 22 lakh candidates.

Filing the plea, a group of NEET aspirants sought a re-examination as they claimed that their examination centre was disrupted due to the heavy rainfall and poor management by the centre.

Justice C Kumarappan dismissed the plea after taking note of the report filed by the National Testing Agency (NTA), which mentioned that even though there was brief power outage during the examination, it did not affect the performance of the candidates, as the examination halls were reported to be sufficiently illuminated with the natural daylight. Apart from this, NTA further claimed in the report that the School Authorities had also arranged for power backup facility.
