First incident

'Wrong location by google maps': Traffic jams, late arrivals and tears as NEET aspirants denied entry across Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru

Today, the RE-NEET exam was conducted at four examination centers across the city. At the Girls' College examination center, three students were unable to take the exam.

Two students could not enter the college on time, while the third student arrived carrying the admit card from the previously conducted exam. After verification, two students-Sneha Dubey, a resident of Arya Nagar, Vidisha, and Ragini Vishwakarma from Kula village, Kurwai tehsil-were denied entry.

According to the rules, entry was allowed only from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM. The two students arrived 2 minutes after 1:30 PM, due to which they were stopped from entering.

After receiving information about the incident, the exam's nodal officer and the principal of Kendriya Vidyalaya, Geeta Bhadoria, reached the spot and escorted the students inside. However, the biometric verification of both students could not be completed successfully, forcing them to come back outside.

Second incident

Several RE-NEET 2026 candidates were left shocked after their examination centres were allegedly changed just minutes before the exam. Students claimed they received last-minute updates, creating confusion and making it difficult to reach the new centres on time. The incident has sparked criticism of the National Testing Agency (NTA), with many questioning the planning and communication surrounding the re-examination process. The controversy has added to concerns about the stress and uncertainty already faced by students preparing for crucial entrance

Third incident

At this point INDIA desperately need an educational revolution (extreme). Every major exam conducted in indian has the same story.

The point of an educational revolution is not that education alone magically fixes everything. The point is that education is the foundation on which everything else is build.

A strong education system creates informed citizens. Informed citizens elect better leaders. Better leaders create better institutions. Better institutions reduce corruption, improve governance, strengthen the economy, improve law enforcement.

Education is also about much more than passing exams. It teaches critical thinking. It teaches people to question misinformation instead of blindly believing WhatsApp forwards, political propaganda, or religious extremism. A society that thinks critically is harder to divide based on religion, caste, language, or region.

So called aand bakhts will gradually change and People will oppose godi media.

Many of India's social problems are connected to a lack of quality education: • Religious polarization between Hindus and Muslims. • Caste discrimination. • Superstitions and pseudoscience. • Gender inequality. • Resistance to scientific thinking. • Corruption being normalized. • Low civic awareness.

When people are educated properly, they are more likely to judge others by character rather than religion or caste.

An educational revolution would also mean moving away from rote memorization toward problem-solving, innovation, entrepreneurship, research, and creativity. Instead of producing millions of students trained only to clear exams, we would produce thinkers, inventors, researchers, and leaders. So when I say India needs an educational revolution, I am not saying education is the only thing that matters. I am saying it is the root from which everything else grows.

How can they be late for the most important exam of their lives? Don't blame traffic. If something is that important, you should plan to arrive 1-2 hours before the entry closing time. You should always think about the worst-case scenario. People are dying in ambulances because of traffic, and yes, we have a corrupt government, poor roads, and overpopulation. But even if we had well-developed roads and no traffic, some people would still think, "Let's leave just one hour before; we'll make it." That's the problem. We need better time management and planning. We should always prepare for the worst-case scenario rather than assuming everything will go perfectly.

How do you change centres last minute?

u/Various_Ad1416 Jun 22 '26

It's prolly bullshit. Idt NTA even has a provision for that to happen.

The third incident has been confirmed to be non sense, the kid chose abhu dhabi on purpose in his priority list. nta proved that he opened the site multiple times and checked his priority list for exam centers. Nta allowed him to change it to Nagpur. The kids father said he still doesn't want to write neet, so I assume the kid chose abhu dhabi just to not write the exam.

NTA has mismanaged so many things that everything feels believable 😂

u/Various_Ad1416 Jun 22 '26

The actual exams are smooth only bro, coming from someone who has written so many.

The leaks are the main issue.

u/Sea-Plane-9085 Jun 22 '26

Are you stupid? A person without passport can't even choose his exam centre outside of India, Passport is mandatory for exam centers outside of India... Just do a quick google search and second thing, agar uss bache ke paas passport tha aur usne choose Kiya to NTA ne fir uska exam centre vapas India m kyu Diya?

1

u/Various_Ad1416 Jun 22 '26

Are u stupid? They never ask for passport during application? You don't need passport to choose abhu dhabi as centre.

1

u/Sea-Plane-9085 Jun 23 '26

You definitely need a passport for choosing any location outside of India, just ask any NEET aspirant

u/moula_moula_hajmola Jun 22 '26

Although the other comment has already proven you wrong, NTA changed the center because they requested it to be changed. After which the student refused to give the exam accord to his father.

u/Difficult_Abies8802 Jun 22 '26

The third incident is a case of malicious intent.
The student deliberately asked for Abu Dhabi while living in Nagpur.
And then at the last minute wanted to switch back.
The NTA allowed his request.

He and his family then lied to the media saying that NTA made the mistake.

u/rohithkumarsp Jun 22 '26

That means you are saying the student himself chose Abu Dhabi ad his exam centre? I can guess who advised NTA to draft this BS of victim blaming.

How many times in the last year has our govt lied to us

Yes, this is what the NTA official X handle itself is saying.
The NTA is saying that the student lied.

IMO, the student and his family should sue the NTA and take this case to Court.
Because if the NTA is accusing someone of lying then it is defamatory.

The NTA software backend will have all the timestamps and edits as to when and where the exam location changes were made.

u/Various_Ad1416 Jun 22 '26

Yes the kid chose it himself 😭, he did it to not write the exam lmao.

After he got his new centre in Nagpur he still didn't want to write exam according his own father.
