SC turns down plea to stay NEET counselling

NEW DELHI: Supreme Court on Wednesday turned down plea of two students to stay counselling for undergraduate medical admission on the basis of NEET-UG 2025 but agreed to hear their grievances.

The petitioners approached the court after allegedly suffering a power outage during the exam at a test centre in Madhya Pradesh.

Agreeing to hear their plea, the Supreme Court bench of Justices P S Narasimha and A S Chandurkar, made it clear that there would be no stay on the counselling and listed the petition for Friday.

The candidates approached the Supreme Court against the July 14 order of the Madhya Pradesh high court refusing to order a re-test for them. TNN
