The National Testing Agency (NTA) finds itself at a critical juncture after a recent High Court decision regarding the NEET-UG 2025 examination. The court’s ruling directs the NTA to conduct a re-test for 75 students who had raised grievances over alleged irregularities during the exam.
Now, the NTA has two choices — either follow the court’s order and organize a re-test for these candidates, or appeal the decision in the Supreme Court. Both paths are likely to impact the NEET UG 2025 admission schedule significantly.
Why Is There a Re-Test Demand?
The controversy stems from reports of mismanagement at certain exam centers, where 75 candidates claimed they faced issues such as late distribution of question papers, wrong OMR sheets, or technical glitches. The High Court found merit in these complaints and ordered a fresh examination for these students to ensure fairness and transparency.
Option 1: Conduct a Re-Test
If the NTA agrees to the re-test, it will need to quickly announce new dates, issue admit cards, and arrange secure examination centers for these students. After the re-test, the NTA must re-evaluate and release revised results.
While this option upholds the High Court’s order, it will cause a delay in releasing the final merit list and starting the counselling process for all NEET UG aspirants. Medical colleges may have to push back their admission deadlines, affecting lakhs of students waiting eagerly for seat allotment.
Option 2: Challenge the High Court’s Decision
The second option is for the NTA to appeal to the Supreme Court. If the Supreme Court stays the High Court’s order, the re-test may not take place — but the legal process itself will consume valuable time.
Filing an appeal, listing the matter for urgent hearing, and awaiting the Supreme Court’s final verdict could stretch over weeks. This legal battle could further delay the counselling rounds, document verification, and college allotments for MBBS and BDS courses across India.
How Will This Impact NEET UG Students?
Whether the NTA opts for a re-test or a Supreme Court appeal, one thing is clear — the admission process will not start on time. This uncertainty is stressful for lakhs of students and their families, who have already faced multiple challenges this year, from exam controversies to result delays.
