The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has delayed the NEET UG 2025 counselling, which was earlier scheduled to begin today, July 1. This postponement follows a directive from the Madhya Pradesh High Court in Indore, ordering the National Testing Agency (NTA) to conduct a re-exam for candidates who faced disruptions at exam centres in Indore and Ujjain due to a power outage.
Justice Subodh Abhyankar, presiding over the case, stated that the affected students suffered unfair disadvantage despite no fault of their own. The court further directed that the counselling process must wait for the outcome of the re-test and that the petitioners’ ranks in the re-exam will be considered for admissions.
