NEET 2025: HC Directs NTA to Address Technical Glitches; Orders Setup of Grievance Redressal Panel

The Delhi High Court has directed NTA to address the NEET UG 2025 technical glitches and form a Grievance Redressal Panel for the NEET exam. The Delhi HC order for NTA concerning the formation of a redressal panel aims to ensure fairness in results and the NEET counselling process. 

NEET UG 2025 Latest News: The Delhi High Court has asked the National Testing Agency (NTA) to set up a permanent grievance redressal committee to handle complaints from NEET candidates who lost exam time because of technical problems. The Delhi HC issued the direction while hearing a plea related to NEET-UG 2025, filed by a candidate who appeared for the exam on May 4 at a centre in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. The student allegedly argued they lost valuable exam time and suffered mental stress due to issues with biometric verification at the test centre. As a result, the student requested compensatory marks in NEET UG result 2025.

The court held that constitutional courts are not the right board to examine CCTV footage or NEET UG exam technical problems, especially when the delay wasn’t the candidate’s fault. Instead, such concerns should be reviewed fairly and transparently by an expert committee. 

Justice Vikas Mahajan, DHC, emphasised that such matters should be reviewed by a panel of experts in a fair and transparent way. He also allowed the standing committee the freedom to create a more appropriate solution or formula for the examination process of NEET entrance exam. 

“It may be observed that this court has come across a few individual cases where the candidates suffered loss of exam time for the reasons not attributable to them,” the court stated.
