Father daughter break down in tears after being barred from writing NEET over a two minute delay
Vidisha: Heartbreaking scenes were witnessed outside a NEET centre in Madhya Pradesh’s Vidisha on Sunday, June 21, when a father begged the security to let his daughter inside after they arrived two minutes late.
Due to a slight delay in biometric verification and errors in the admit card, the student was barred from entering the exam centre.
Videos surfaced on social media a day after the NEET retest that showed the father and daughter breaking down in tears, pleading with the officers to let her in.
“Sarkar jab kya soraha thi leak hue jab (Was the government sleeping when the leak happened)?” The father was heard asking as they stood outside the gate.
The daughter, not yet ready to give up on writing the exam, was also seen trying to convince the security officers to let her in. “Do you know how far we have come?” she asked.
Later, her father repeatedly banged his head on the gate and fell to the ground, while she tried to help him. The entire incident drew a massive crowd as onlookers gathered to assist the man.
Over 20 lakh medical aspirants took a second shot at the NEET UG 2026 examination on Sunday, June 21, after the original test was cancelled due to paper leaks, an issue that became a hot potato for the government and also triggered a popular protest movement.
In a statement, National Testing Agency (NTS) said more than 20 lakh candidates appeared for the NEET (UG) 2026 re-examination across 5,440 centres in India and 14 centres abroad. The exam was conducted in 13 languages, including Hindi and English.
