Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan chaired a high-level review meeting on Thursday with senior officials from the Ministry of Education, state governments, the National Testing Agency (NTA), and higher education institutions to assess preparedness for the NEET-UG re-examination scheduled for June 21.
Pradhan emphasised the importance of maintaining the "highest standards of integrity, transparency and efficiency" in the examination process and directed all concerned authorities to remain vigilant and fully prepared for the free and fair conduct of the re-examination.
The minister said officers designated by the ministry would reach all states to coordinate activities related to the re-examination process and report to the command centre headed by the NTA Director General.
Pradhan also asked designated nodal officers of state governments to ensure that students were provided all necessary facilities to enable them to appear for the re-examination in a stress-free environment.
The NTA on Thursday urged NEET-UG candidates to remain calm and focus on their preparation, asserting that extensive arrangements have been made to ensure a safe, secure, and fair examination.
The agency said the re-examination will be conducted on Sunday as scheduled and asked candidates not to be swayed by rumours of postponement or by the "noise on social media".
The Centre on Thursday justified in the Delhi High Court the action to temporarily restrict access to the Telegram App ahead of June 21 NEET-UG re-examination, arguing that the app offers bot infrastructure that could be used to disseminate information in bulk. After hearing the argument, HC reserved its verdict on a plea by Telegram against the Centre's move to temporarily restrict access.
