The recent High Court updates regarding NEET UG 2025 are significant and could potentially impact the declaration of results for all candidates. Here's a breakdown of the situation: 1. Madras High Court Stay: * The Madras High Court has put a stay on the declaration of the NEET UG 2025 results specifically for candidates who were affected by a power outage at the PM Shri Kendriya Vidyalaya, CRPF Avadi, Chennai centre on May 4th between 3:00 PM and 4:15 PM. * Students reported severely inadequate lighting conditions, rainwater entering the examination halls, and the denial of any extra time to compensate for the disruption. * The students argued that these conditions created a grossly unequal playing field compared to candidates at other centres, violating their constitutional rights. * The next hearing for this case is scheduled for June 2, 2025. 2. Madhya Pradesh High Court Modification: * The Madhya Pradesh High Court (Indore bench) had initially issued a stay on the declaration of NEET results. * However, it has now modified its order. The latest directive allows the National Testing Agency (NTA) to declare the NEET results for all candidates except those who appeared at the centres affected by the power outage in Madhya Pradesh. * The court has asked for responses from the NTA, the Central Government, and the Madhya Pradesh West Zone Electricity Distribution Company within four weeks, with the next hearing set for June 30, 2025. Impact on NEET UG 2025 Results: * These court interventions have put the declaration of the NEET UG 2025 results in a state of uncertainty for all candidates across India. * The official date for the NEET UG 2025 result declaration, as per the National Testing Agency (NTA), was June 14, 2025. * However, due to the ongoing legal proceedings and the stays issued by the High Courts, this date is now highly likely to be affected. * Over 2.1 million students who appeared for the NEET UG 2025 exam are currently awaiting clarity on when their results will be announced. General Information about NEET UG: * The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate) or NEET UG is a national-level entrance examination conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admissions to undergraduate medical (MBBS), dental (BDS), and other medical courses in India. * It is a mandatory examination for anyone seeking admission to these programs in medical colleges across the country. * The NEET UG syllabus is primarily based on the Class 11 and Class 12 NCERT syllabus for Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (Botany and Zoology). * The examination is usually held on the first Sunday of May every year. Given the current situation with the High Court stays, candidates are advised to regularly check the official website of the National Testing Agency (NTA) for the latest updates regarding the NEET UG 2025 results.
