The NEET 2026 re-test has triggered a nationwide debate after several students were denied entry for arriving minutes after the 1:30 pm gate-closing deadline. Videos from Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Bengaluru and other cities showed students and parents pleading with officials after delays caused by rain, traffic, accidents and document issues. While the National Testing Agency enforced strict security measures following the paper leak controversy, many families questioned whether genuine late arrivals could have been accommodated. Supporters of the rules argued that uniform deadlines ensure fairness, while critics said students should lose time, not an entire year of preparation. (PC: India Today)
