Will NEET 2025 Result be Delayed, Madras High Court Decision

Will NEET 2025 Result be Delayed: The Madras High Court has removed the stay on the National Testing Agency (NTA), allowing the declaration of the NEET 2025 result. This decision came on Friday, June 6, after the court dismissed petitions seeking a re-exam due to power cuts at four exam centres in Chennai. A group of 16 students had filed petitions claiming they faced disruptions during the exam on May 5 because of power outages. They requested a re-exam and urged the court to delay the result until then. However, Justice C. Kumarappan rejected these pleas, stating that a re-exam on such grounds would be unfair to nearly 22 lakh students who took the test across the country.

Earlier, the MP court had put a stay on the result declaration after a student from Indore filed a complaint. The student reported that multiple exam centres in the city had no electricity during the exam on May 4, and no backup power arrangements like generators were available. This was despite advance warnings from the weather department about storms on the exam day.

Will NEET 2025 Result be Delayed - Latest Updates

• On June 6, the Madras High Court said that the National Testing Agency (NTA) can declare the result. The court rejected the request for a re-exam by some students who faced power cuts during the test in Chennai. The judge said that the problem was not big enough to stop results for 22 lakh students.
• But in Madhya Pradesh, the High Court has taken a different decision. A student from Indore said that many exam centres in the city had no electricity on the exam day, May 4. Some students had to write their exam using candlelight. The court said this was not fair. So, the MP High Court has allowed the NTA to release the NEET UG 2025 result for the whole country, but not for 11 exam centres in Indore. These centres will be checked again before results are given.

Madras HC Order on NEET 2025 Result

Earlier, the Madras High Court had stopped the NEET UG 2025 result after 13 students filed a complaint. These students had given the exam at the Avadi centre near Chennai on May 4, 2025. They said that a power cut and heavy rain caused big problems during their test. From 3:00 PM to 4:15 PM, there was no electricity in the exam hall. The lights were dim, and there was no backup power. Also, rainwater entered the room, and many students had to change seats during the exam. They asked for extra time, but the exam staff did not allow it.

Because of this, Justice V. Lakshminarayanan gave an interim order to stop the result from being declared. The judge said that the National Testing Agency (NTA) should wait until the students’ problems were looked into carefully. Now, this issue has been settled, and the court has removed the stay, allowing the NEET 2025 result to be declared.

MP Court’s Decision and Next Steps on NEET 2025 Result

Because of this, some students faced difficulties while writing the exam. The court asked the National Testing Agency (NTA), the Central Government, and the electricity company in Madhya Pradesh to explain what happened. They must reply within four weeks. So, the court decided to put a temporary stay on the result. The next hearing is expected on June 30, 2025. The court may take a final decision after that.
