Indore (Madhya Pradesh): The Madhya Pradesh High Court on Tuesday granted interim relief to NEET-UG 2025 candidate Archie Ananya Agrawal, allowing her to take part in the third round of medical counselling scheduled for October 22.
The directive came from a division bench of Justice Vijay Kumar Shukla and Justice Gajendra Singh, which was hearing Agrawal’s plea challenging her exclusion from the third round.
Agrawal, who had earlier received a provisional seat allotment at Sri Satya Sai University of Technology and Medical Sciences, Sehore during the second round on September 22, moved the court after being denied participation in the next phase.

They further noted that new colleges were added to the counselling pool on October 13 and 17, after the second round had ended.
On the State’s behalf, government advocate Bhuwan Gautam requested time to verify whether Agrawal’s earlier admission had been finalised.
