<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNagpur: <\/span>An emotional scene played out outside NEET retest centre at Ajni\u2019s Kendriya Vidyalaya on Sunday as Abdullah Mohammad Talib arrived to appear for the examination, barely a day after the controversy over his admit card showing an examination centre in Abu Dhabi instead of his preferred centres in Vidarbha.Moments after Abdullah cleared the security check and entered the examination hall, his father Dr Talib broke down while speaking to TOI<\/span>. He said the examination was critical for his son\u2019s future and that the family had endured days of anxiety and uncertainty following the centre allotment issue.The 18-year-old, wearing a mask to avoid media attention, remained reluctant to appear for the examination until Sunday morning.\u201cHe finally agreed to take the exam around 10am. His morale had already been affected after the NEET paper leak controversy last month. Though he had prepared himself for the re-test, the admit card issue caused severe emotional distress. He was inconsolable when he saw Abu Dhabi listed as his examination centre and had to be given medication to calm him down,\u201d Dr Talib said.According to the father, Abdullah\u2019s elder brother, who lives in Ireland, and his sister in Mumbai made repeated video calls to persuade him not to give up on the examination.\u201cThe entire family tried to motivate him. Even his mother fell ill after seeing him shattered by the incident,\u201d he said.Dr Talib said Abdullah aspires to pursue MBBS degree and later move to the United Kingdom for postgraduate medical studies.\u201cAfter the exam, we plan to take him on a holiday so that he can recover from the stress. We hope he regains his confidence and moves forward with renewed hope,\u201d he added.Responding to the National Testing Agency\u2019s claim that Abu Dhabi had been selected in the candidate\u2019s profile, Dr Talib alleged there could have been unauthorised access to the account.\u201cAbdullah and I filled out the application form together at home in February. When the portal was reopened for selecting preferred examination cities, we chose Nagpur, Bhandara and Wardha in that order. However, from June 14 onwards we were unable to access the account, as the system repeatedly showed \u2018wrong credentials\u2019. When we finally managed to log in two days ago, the admit card displayed Abu Dhabi as the examination centre,\u201d he said.\u201cWe believe the possibility of hacking or unauthorised changes to the profile should be investigated thoroughly,\u201d Dr Talib said, adding his son didn\u2019t have a passport while they don\u2019t have any relative in Abu Dhabi.<\/div>\n
