NEET UG Re-Exam: Students Denied Entry for Arriving Minutes After Gate Closure in Mumbai and Bengaluru
During the NEET UG re-examination in Mumbai and Bengaluru, several students were denied entry for arriving minutes after the official 1:30 PM gate closing time. In Mumbai's Parel area, two students arriving two minutes late faced gate closures amid protests, with parents citing a bus strike causing delays. Similarly, in Bengaluru, three students missed entry by two minutes due to traffic congestion linked to a Congress rally. Despite pleas, authorities adhered strictly to National Testing Agency rules, sparking emotional scenes and debates over exam timing policies and the need for grace periods.
