Aggrieved students argued that CUET UG 2023 and JEE Main 2023 application windows were reopened due to similar issues and it is unfair that NEET UG 2023 registration window is not. “It is imperative that all students have an equal opportunity to complete the registration process and write the exam,” they said.
Defending themselves about not completing the registration earlier, the aspirants said that moral justification or counselling should not be done in this matter and it should be approached “systematically”. Students alleged that the issues could have been avoided if there was no server issue on the last day.

“It is unfair to assume that the students should have done their registration earlier and justify the server issue of the last day of the registration while the students’ careers are at stake. We urge you to keep yourself in the shoes of the students and take appropriate action to address this issue,” NEET UG aspirants further said and urged NTA to reopen the registration process.
