A NEET UG 2026 aspirant from Nagpur appeared for a re-exam on June 21 after NTA corrected an error that allotted him the Abu Dhabi centre instead of Nagpur. Father said the student was stressed, unwell, vomiting and 50% confident, alleging “mischief” behind the issue and said family had to persuade him to appear.

NEET UG 2026 Re-Exam: A NEET UG 2026 aspirant from Nagpur, Maharashtra, whose examination centre was mistakenly allotted in Abu Dhabi before being corrected by the National Testing Agency (NTA), appeared for the re-examination on Sunday, June 21. The student's father said the family had to persuade him to take the test after days of stress and anxiety caused by the centre allotment controversy.

Speaking to ANI outside the examination centre in Nagpur, Abdullah Mohammad Talib's father revealed that the student was under immense pressure and had been unwell since the previous night.

"We had a hard time convincing him. He was not ready to come at all. He had been vomiting since last night and was very nervous. He did not even revise in the morning and came directly to the centre after getting ready. We had to give him an antiemetic tablet," he said.

Asked about his son's confidence level ahead of the examination, the father said, "You can say he is around 50% confident. He is appearing for the exam under pressure because of our persuasion. He has prepared well, and once he starts writing the paper, he will gradually become normal."
