Overview

  • Madras High Court Division Bench dismissed an appeal on July 3 seeking a NEET-UG 2025 re-examination for candidates affected by power outages at Chennai centres, warning it would disrupt over two million students’ prospects.
  • Justices J. Nisha Banu and M. Jothiraman upheld a June 6 order after the NTA’s field verification and an independent statistical analysis found no significant performance differences due to the outages.
  • The Supreme Court on July 4 refused to amend the final NEET-UG 2025 answer key or halt counselling, rejecting petitioner Shivam Gandhi Raina’s claim of errors in three questions.
  • A Bench of Justices P. S. Narasimha and R. Mahadevan ruled that individual grievances cannot justify intervention in a national exam once expert panels have certified its integrity.
  • With both Madras High Court and Supreme Court dismissing all related appeals, the Medical Counselling Committee can proceed with seat allotment based on the declared results.
