Despite Supreme Court orders, NEET 2025 disabled candidates face disqualification as medical boards ignore guidelines, highlighting lack of sensitivity, training, and systemic failure in disability assessments.
New Delhi, February 3: The Supreme Court of India stated that all disabled candidates will now be allowed to take scribes to write their exams, even if they do not meet the benchmark disability criteria. This means that individuals with any disability, not just those with 40% or more of a specified disability, will be eligible for assistance.
On Wednesday(18th Sept), The Supreme Court of India urged the Union government and NMC to adopt a compassionate approach for disabled medical aspirants. It directed the admission of a candidate with 45% speech and language disability, stressing that rigid rules should not bar individuals with physical impairments from pursuing their goals.
