The divisional bench of the Madras High Court on Thursday (July 3, 2025) confirmed the order of a single judge against the re-fraudulent national competence-cum-entrance-school (Neet-G) 2025 for students appearing in centers that suffered from heavy rains.
The divisional bench, including judge J. Nish Ban and M.

He also stated that the NTA established an independent expert in the Earth assessment to see if it has any impact on the performance of the applicants due to power failure in some centers and that the committee had conducted a statistical analysis prior to categorical findings.
FINDING FORCE IN HIS SUBMISSIONS, The Division Bench Wrote: “This Court is of Opinion that is Crucial to Uphis SPEAKING ORDER PASSED BY NTA, AFTER FIELD VERIFICATION OF EXAMINATION CENTRES AND STATISTICAL Analysis by an Independent Expert Committee with no Affiliation to the NTA, UNLESS DRA DECISION IS DECREED TO BE Manifestly
