The NEET-UG re-examination was conducted smoothly across Delhi on Sunday, with authorities reporting no glitches or complaints till late evening. The re-test was held at 97 centres under a multi-layer command and control mechanism involving the Ministry of Education, National Testing Agency (NTA), district administrations, and law enforcement agencies.
Security Measures in Place
Extensive security arrangements were implemented, including Aadhaar-based biometric verification, CCTV surveillance, jammers, and deployment of police personnel across all centres. These measures aimed to ensure a fair and transparent re-examination process.
Students expressed satisfaction with the arrangements. Vaibhav, a NEET aspirant, said, “The exam was conducted smoothly. Physics and chemistry were challenging, but overall my paper went well.” Another candidate voiced concerns: “I am scared of another paper leak. What will we do if the exam is cancelled again?”
Government Facilities for Candidates
The Delhi Government made special arrangements for candidates and parents. It announced free travel on DTC buses for candidates and established special cooling zones outside all examination centres. According to the Chief Minister’s Office, nearly 45,000 candidates and their families benefited from these facilities. The cooling zones were equipped with seating, clean drinking water, ORS, shikanji, tea, and first-aid facilities.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said feedback indicated that the arrangements helped reduce stress and provided much-needed support on an important examination day. She appreciated the efforts of the district administration, Transport Department, DTC, Delhi Police, Health Department, and other agencies involved.
Paper Analysis by Experts
Academic experts described the paper as above average in difficulty. Vinod Kumawat, president of ALLEN Career Institute, Kota, noted that Physics and Chemistry were conceptual, with several lengthy and tricky questions likely to determine ranks. Chemistry, especially physical chemistry, was challenging due to calculation-based and concept-driven questions. Organic and inorganic chemistry were tougher than in the May 3 examination. Biology was comparatively easier. However, experts pointed out a few confusing questions and one question reportedly outside the prescribed syllabus.
Experts noted that the paper placed greater emphasis on human physiology, followed by plant physiology and genetics & biotechnology. Overall, physics and chemistry are expected to be the rank-defining subjects in this year’s re-examination.
