New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party national convener and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has urged NEET aspirants not to lose hope following the cancellation of the medical entrance examination and encouraged them to continue preparing for the re-examination scheduled for June 21.
In a message shared on social media, Kejriwal said the responses he received from students regarding the NEET controversy had left him emotional.
“Dear NEET students, your feelings and reactions have touched my heart. Thank you for placing your trust in me. Stay courageous and make a firm resolve that ‘I will become a doctor’. May God bless all of you,” he wrote.
Kejriwal said a video he had earlier posted on the NEET issue had received over 50 lakh views and thousands of students had shared their anxiety, frustration and emotional distress over the uncertainty surrounding the examination.
Expressing solidarity with the students, he said, “I also have two children. Both studied at IIT. If their examinations had been cancelled, I would have felt the same pain. All of you are like my own children.”
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced that the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination will be conducted on June 21 after the earlier examination was cancelled.
