As per the verdict dated July 14, 2025, the Division Bench of the MP High Court ruled out the re-test request, but asked NTA to release the scorecards for the petitioners or the withheld candidates. Accordingly, NTA released the NEET 2025 scorecard for these candidates on July 15, 2025.

Based on the NEET analysis, experts have opined that this year the difficulty level of NEET 2025 was exceptionally tough. The question types were also trickier and mostly numerical-based, for the Physics section. Even in the other two sections, the theory-based questions were not direct, but were application-based. Questions were not asked from a single topic, but were a combination of multiple topics, which only students with a strong conceptual clarity and knowledge would be able to solve accurately. That is why experts are predicting low chance of the highest score of NEET 2025 being 720, and vis-à-vis a lower NEET 2025 cutoff than last year.
