NEET-UG 2025: NTA declares results of 75 students; aspirants to move SC

Time of India9 hours ago
INDORE: The National Testing Agency (
NTA
) declared the results of 75 NEET-UG 2025 aspirants on Monday evening.
The results were uploaded on the official website at 6 PM, and students were also notified individually via email.
The counselling process for these candidates is expected to begin from July 21.
These students had earlier approached the Madhya Pradesh High Court, citing disruption caused by power outages during the NEET-UG exam held on May 4. A single-judge bench had initially ordered a re-test; however, following an appeal by the NTA, a division bench later set aside that order and directed the agency to release the students' pending results.
However, the declared scores have left many students and parents disappointed. Several claimed the scores were far below expectations based on the students' consistent performance in mock tests.
Sachin Garg, father of NEET aspirant Tanishka Garg, said, 'The score was around 25% less than what we expected as per her preparations. She had been scoring more than 600 in the mock tests but the scores she got now is approx 520.'

NEET-UG is conducted for a total of 720 marks, based on 180 multiple-choice questions from Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
Ritesh Agarwal, father of another candidate, shared similar concerns. 'These students had been scoring well in the mock tests and the scores they had got are low. Many of these students were capable of securing admission in premier institutes like AIIMS, but given their current scores, they may now have to settle for government colleges that may not be as reputed," he said.
he students—primarily from Indore and Ujjain—are now planning to move the
Supreme Court
. According to their legal counsel Mradul Bhatnagar, the students believe the power outage had unfairly impacted their performance and they are seeking a more just resolution.

Myanmar refugees in Mizoram begin returning home

Guwahati: The Myanmar refugees , who earlier this month fled to Mizoram , started returning to their country. Recently a fresh batch of refugees have started coming since July 2. Gun battle had erupted between the Chin National Defence Force and the Chinland Defence Force-Hualngoram over control of Chin state in Myanmar. A senior official who does not want to be named said that around 4653 refugees had come since the fight started on July 2.

He said that of the around 4,653 Myanmar refugees, 3867 took shelter in Zokhawthar, 786 took shelter in Vaphai and Saikhumphai villages in Champhai district. Around 500 refugees had taken shelter in relief camps while the remaining were accommodated in the relatives' and friends' houses, the official said. Live Events The refugees came from three villages of Chin state of Myanmar – Khawmawi, Rihkhawdar and Lianhna. After a military coup in Myanmar in February 2021, refugees, including women and children from the neighbouring country, started coming to Mizoram seeking shelter, and now their numbers have increased to around 35,000. The refugees, mostly Chin tribes, have almost full ethnic and cultural similarity with the majority Mizos of Mizoram, now sheltered in camps, in most of the 11 districts in the northeastern state, which has an unfenced 510 km border with Myanmar.

Out of sight, out of support: Disability care lags in Delhi's slums in most trying of times

New Delhi: In the congested pockets of Delhi's working-class neighbourhoods — from Old Seemapuri to Okhla's Batla House — conversations about disability rarely come up. When they do, they are soon drowned by disbelief, confusion and stigma. This disconnect was clear when NGO Astha, which works with children with disabilities, presented its findings, 'Covid-19 and Children and Persons with Disabilities in Urban Slums of Delhi' on Tuesday. The findings of Astha's outreach, which spanned over 40 underserved settlements, more than 2,000 helpline calls and intensive work with over 250 children, are clear: nine of every 10 children with disabilities lost access to therapy and learning during the pandemic and only 3.6% of children under eight years received disability pension. Raising a child with a disability in a low-income household often means doing it alone without information or assistance. For instance, Rubina didn't even know what autism was. When undergoing an ultrasound test at a local clinic, she was told something might be wrong with the baby's brain. Later, at the govt hospital, the advice was blunt: "There's a chance he might not survive or consult regularly." The boy, the second of her three children, is now five. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 목주름 줄인 방법 정리해봄 (실제 후기) 9년차 연구원 최소정 지금 구매하기 Undo You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi Rubina, who lives in Old Seemapuri with her husband, an electronics shop salesman, and has a household income rarely crossing Rs 15,000, didn't know what to do. When the pandemic hit, even the hospital visits stopped. With some help through phone consultations, she carried the pregnancy to term. Her son was born looking healthy, but within months, she saw "he wouldn't make eye contact, wouldn't hold our hands, didn't try to stand". The hardest part for Rubina was not hearing her son call her mamma. "It still hurts," she murmured. While the doctors declared it autism, the family though he was just slow, sometimes feared it was nazar (evil eye). But it was there to stay. "It is a bitter truth," said Rubina. They didn't know what to do about his schooling until they got in touch with Astha when the boy was three. The NGO helped them push for official paperwork and it took two years of follow-ups before she finally got his disability certificate this year. Today, her son goes to a private school under the EWS quota. "We tried govt schools, but we didn't feel confident. Who would sit with him? Who would help him eat or open his tiffin?" she said. "When he started school, it was a new journey for all of us." In Batla House's Hazi Colony, Nazreen had a similar experience. Her seven-year-old son didn't respond to his name as a baby. "At first, we thought maybe he was just the quiet type or maybe he couldn't hear," she revealed. But as time passed, the signs of autism became clearer. "If people like us don't even know what autism is, how can we help our children? There should be awareness campaigns, like for polio, simple, clear, everywhere," she said. For Pooja Singh, who lives in a slum cluster in Okhla, the struggles began even earlier. Her first child had a seizure just 15 days after birth. The hospital cost came to more than Rs 60,000. "We have no idea how we managed it," she said. "But was there another option?" That hospital visit was just the first of many. A health crisis in the family arose every year or two until even the second child was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a rare degenerative muscle condition. "The doctor said the name, but we couldn't even pronounce it, let alone understand it," said Singh. What made things worse was the lack of any guidance. "People remark that such children are not normal or that it's bad luck. But who tells you what help is available?" Singh asked. With two children who needed different kinds of support, life hasn't been easy. The family income of around Rs 12,000 barely covers food and rent. "Even diapers cost Rs 500 a month. That's a lot for us," she said. Her eldest son still struggles. "He goes to school, but there is not much progress. Therapy takes two hours every day," she sighed. The younger son is in a better position now but is yet to get his disability pension approved. "The paperwork is endless. Nothing moves," she complained. These stories reveal what policy numbers often miss: disability does not come with a roadmap for low-income families. Instead, there's silence, judgment, ignorance and difficult-to-access systems. Pratik Aggarwal, executive director of Astha, said: "Children with disabilities were among the first to be excluded when services collapsed. Yet, because Astha's model is rooted in hyperlocal systems and relationships, families and communities didn't wait—they responded. Big learning? Local systems only work in emergencies if they are built with communities, not delivered to them."

Kanwariyas seek shelter at ashram, block highway

Kanpur: Kanwariyas caused disruption by seeking rest at an ashram, leading to a blockage on the Farrukhabad-Bareilly highway in Farrukhabad district on Monday. The station in-charge and police force arrived at the location and through negotiations with the kanwariyas, they successfully arranged for an ashram gate to be opened. The pilgrims received accommodation and food at the facility and departed at 4 am. on Tuesday. During the holy month of Shrawan, Kanwar Yatra continues at Panchal Ghat, Farrukhabad. On Monday evening, many kanwariyas from Harpalpur, Hardoi, arrived to collect Ganga water. Due to rain, they required shelter at a nearby ashram. Finding the ashram gates locked, they tried to enter but unable to gain access, they moved to the Etawah-Bareilly highway. Their protest on the road caused traffic jams in both directions. After receiving information, police officials arrived and through successful negotiations, they calmed the kanwariyas, enabling traffic to resume normally on the highway. Panchal Ghat receives kanwariyas from the local district and neighbouring areas for collecting Ganga water. The officials have made special arrangements for their convenience. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like All-Business Class da Milano-New York La Compagnie Scopri di più Undo According to Mohit Mishra, the officer managing Panchal Ghat outpost, several kanwariyas reached the highway.
