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.
