Thiruvananthapuram: The National Testing Agency (NTA) will re-conduct the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test-2022 (NEET) exam for “affected students” on September 4 at six centres across the country, including Kollam in Kerala, where girl students were forced to remove their inner wear before appearing for the exam on July 17.
An NTA circular said the exam will be re-conducted at six centres, only for affected students.
Apart from Kollam, the other centres are Sri Ganganagar (Rajasthan), Hoshangbad (Madhya Pradesh), Kushinagar (Uttar Pradesh), Bhind (Madhya Pradesh) and Nagaur (Rajasthan). Affected candidates in each centre would be allowed to take the re-exam, which is not compulsory.
In the five centres other than Kollam, the affected candidates are Hindi-medium students. Only those who had attended the exam on July 17 would be allowed to take part in the re-exam, said the circular.
The circular said that there had been six separate incidents on July 17 which might require NTA to re-conduct the exam.
The NTA has sent a communication to all the students eligible to take part in re-exam. The girls who had attended the NEET exam at Mar Thoma Institute of Information Technology at Ayur in Kollam on July 17 were informed that the exam would be re-conducted for them on September 4 at S N Public School, Kollam.
