Here are the top health stories for the day:
As the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET-UG) approaches on May 3, a different kind of anxiety is surfacing among families across India, beyond the usual concerns of preparation and cut-offs. With over 24 lakh candidates set to appear, parents are increasingly worried about last-mile uncertainties such as biometric verification failures, entry delays, and inadequate exam centre facilities.
These concerns stem partly from past instances of fingerprint mismatches, technical glitches, and logistical disruptions that reportedly affected candidates during previous exam cycles, reports India Today.
Despite the National Testing Agency issuing advisories on Aadhaar updates and biometric readiness, questions remain about contingency plans if systems fail on exam day. Parents have also raised concerns over infrastructure issues like overcrowding and poor ventilation at centres. While authorities have introduced enhanced verification protocols and awareness measures, the lack of clear communication on backup mechanisms continues to fuel unease. With the exam just hours away, students focus on revision, but for many families, uncertainty about smooth execution remains a pressing concern.
