Nagpur student takes NEET re-test after Abu Dhabi centre mix-up

Nagpur: A local student, who was initially allotted an examination centre in Abu Dhabi, appeared for the NEET-UG re-test on Sunday after the National Testing Agency (NTA) revised his centre to Nagpur amid concerns over the issue. The aspirant, Abdullah Talib, appeared for the re-examination at a school in the Ajni area. His father, Mohammad Talib, said that his son was tense and unwilling to appear for the examination.

"He appeared for the examination after he was counselled," he said. Citing his son, Mohd Talib said the question paper was tougher compared to the previous one, which was cancelled. A day earlier, the family claimed that the aspirant had been allotted an examination centre in Abu Dhabi, while the NTA stated that the student himself had chosen that exam venue. He was subsequently assigned a centre in Nagpur as per his request.
