NEET 2025: HC orders NTA to form grievance redress panel
The Delhi High Court has directed the National Testing Agency to form a standing grievance redressal committee to address issues raised by candidates who suffer a loss of time due to technical issues, without their fault, while appearing for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) examination. The court's direction came while dealing with a plea concerning NEET-UG 2025 in which a candidate, who appeared for the examination on May 4 at a Meerut centre, sought compensatory marks for allegedly suffering loss of time and mental disturbance due to irregularities in biometric verification at the exam centre. It stated that constitutional courts cannot be expected to scrutinise CCTV footage for such candidates who have been prejudiced on account of loss of exam time for no fault of their own, noting that such cases ought to be examined by a body of experts transparently and fairly. 'It may be observed that this court has come across a few individual cases where the candidates suffered loss of exam time for the reasons not attributable to them,' the court said. 'Accordingly, the respondent No.1 or NTA is directed to constitute a standing Grievance Redressal Committee for the said purpose, if not already in place, where aggrieved candidates may approach for redressal of their grievances,' the court said in its Monday order. The petitioner sought certain reliefs, including the awarding of compensatory marks in the medical entrance exam and preservation of CCTV footage from the concerned test centre. The petitioner alleged that during the authentication process, before the exam, the biometric verification did not work at the test centre, and he was made to file an application requesting permission to enter the examination hall. The plea said the petitioner was permitted to enter the examination hall only five minutes before the commencement of the test.

NEET-UG 2025 manipulation case: Court refuses pre-arrest bail to consultant
MUMBAI: A special CBI court on Friday rejected the anticipatory bail plea of Rajiv Ranjan Sinha, an education consultant accused of playing a central role in the alleged NEET-UG score manipulation racket. (Shutterstock) Sinha had sought pre-arrest bail in a case registered by the CBI, where he was alleged to be part of a conspiracy to tamper with the NEET-UG 2025 scores in exchange for large sums of money. The agency stated that the original demand was ₹90 lakh per candidate, which was subsequently reduced to ₹87.5 lakh, and that candidates and their parents were lured into signing blank OMR sheets at a five-star hotel in Noida on May 9 and 12. According to the CBI, co-accused Salim Patel sent Sinha a list of 15 candidates along with some admit cards and three OMR sheets over WhatsApp. The hotel in Noida where the meetings took place was booked in the name of another co-accused, Niraj Kumar, who the agency said had known Sinha for over a decade. The court noted that the presence of OMR sheets contradicted the defence claim that the candidates were only being assisted with management quota admissions. The court further recorded that Sinha had allegedly received ₹3.99 lakh from a hawala trader at Vashi on May 12, as confirmed by a receipt bearing his name and mobile number. That same day, on instructions attributed to Sinha, ₹4 lakh was reportedly delivered to an unidentified individual at Delhi's Dhaula Kuan. Call detail records were cited to show that Sinha was in communication with Salim Patel on the day of the alleged transactions. The CBI also told the court that Sinha had replaced the mobile phone he used during the period of the alleged offence, claiming it was lost. The court observed that no complaint regarding the loss had been filed and that he had neither retained the same SIM number nor retrieved his call records. It concluded that it was likely that the old phone had been suppressed to prevent confirmation of the WhatsApp exchanges. While Sinha claimed he was falsely implicated and had been in Thailand on vacation when the case was registered, the court rejected the argument and stated that the investigation was at a nascent stage and that the accused had projected Niraj Kumar and Prem Ranjan as officials of the National Testing Agency. The court said that custodial interrogation would be more effective for eliciting key information rather than questioning Sinha under protection of pre-arrest relief. The judge also noted that the other co-accused were still absconding and that crucial evidence, including the missing mobile phone, remained unrecovered.
