NTA declares NEET UG result 2025 withheld after MP HC orders over power outage during exam

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has declared the National Eligibility Entrance Test - Undergraduate (NEET UG) result 2025 for candidates of Madhya Pradesh whose results were withheld earlier following the high court orders in a plea over power outage during exam. Candidates can download the NEET result 2025 on the official website, neet.nta.nic.in, using their login credentials.

Earlier today, the MP High Court revoked the direction to NTA for holding a NEET re-test 2025 for affected candidates, citing that last-minute weather changes were not under the exam authority's control, as per a Live Law report. Around 70 candidates who took the NEET UG exam 2025 at Indore and Ujjain centres filed petitions seeking re-NEET.

The HC reserved its verdict on NEET re-exam 2025 while hearing NTA's appeal against a single judge order asking it to hold the re-exam. The bench observed that more than 22 lakh candidates appeared for the exam but all of them can't be selected; an individual event can't affect the whole exam.

A division bench of the MP HC had already said no to NEET UG 2025 re-test, staying the single judge order. A bench of Justices Vivek Rusia and Binod Kumar Dwivedi passed the order while hearing a writ petition filed by NTA which expressed inability to follow the single judge order until all the pending pleas are heard. However, the court upheld the part of the single judge order where it said that NEET UG 2025 counselling shall be subject to the outcome of the petitions.

NEET UG 2025 re-test

A single-judge bench led by Justice Subodh Abhyankar had granted the relief to the petitioners finding them at a disadvantage without any fault and ordered that their revised ranks in the NEET UG 2025 re-test be considered for MBBS, BDS admissions.

Earlier, the high court had allowed the testing agency to declare NEET UG 2025 results for all except for 11 exam centres in Indore which saw power outage, after putting the result declaration on hold temporarily, when the NTA counsel prayed for permission to publish results. The court was hearing petitions filed by medical aspirants who claimed that their performance in the medical entrance exam was severely impacted by a power failure at exam centres in Indore.

12.36 lakh candidates qualified in NEET UG 2025 and Mahesh Kumar grabbed the All India Rank (AIR) 1. NEET result 2025 was declared on June 14. NEET 2025 was held on May 4 for admissions to MBBS, BDS, AYUSH courses in medical and dental colleges across the country.
