HC Orders Stay on NEET UG 2025 Result

Madras High Court has order a stay on the result of National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET UG 2025) held on May 04, 2025

Chennai: Madras High Court has order a stay on the result of National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET UG 2025) held on May 04, 2025.

The High Court in its interim order Friday May 16, 2025 asked the National Testing Agency (NTA) to hold the declaration of NEET UG 2025 result following the petitions filed by as many as 13 students.

The students in their petition said their exam was disrupted due to power outage at the Avadi exam centre near Chennai.

Students' Petitions

The students in their petitions said the electricy supply at the Avadi NEET Centre was disrupted from 3:00 PM to 4:15 PM on the Exam Day. The center did not have any power backup facility. The students said because of the power outage they could not properly write the exam. The students also said they were shifted to other exam hall after rainwater entered, according to The Economic Times.

This comes at a time when the Madhya Pradesh High Court also passed a similar order on the back of a petition from aspirants claiming power failure at exam centres in Indore. The court eventually modified the order to a partial stay on results for those specific centres.

A similar stay order on the declaration of NEET UG 2025 result has also been imposed by the Madhya Pradesh High Court. The MP High Court taking note of a petition by a girl student, who appeared for the medical entrance at an exam centre in Indore where she said was power outage during the exam, asked the NTA to hold the announcement of the NEET result.

However, as against the Madras High Court, the MP High Court has put the stay on the NEET UG 2025 result of only affected students, according to The Indian Express.

NEET UG 2025 Answer Key

Candidates, however, should note that the High Court stay on the NEET UG 2025 result will not bar the NTA from releasing the NEET UG 2025 Answer Key.

Candidates should also note that the NTA is likely to publish NEET UG 2025 Provisional Answer Key any moment, though it has not officially confirmed the exact date and time to do so.

The NTA conducts the medical entrance exam NEET UG every year for students who wish to take admission in various medical and paramedical courses including MBBS, BDS, BUMS, BAMS, BHMS and others.

The medical admission counselling after the declaration of the result is done based on a candidate's NEET UG score.
