The National Testing Association (NTA) said it will reconduct the NEET exam for girl students who were allegedly asked to remove their underwear during frisking ahead of taking the medical entrance test.
The girls will be given the option to take the exam on September 4. The NTA has sent an email confirming the same to students.
A massive row had erupted after reports emerged that young girls were asked to remove her innerwear before entering the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) examination centre in Kerala's Kollam district.
In July, a man filed a complaint with the Kottarakara police and said that female NEET aspirants, including his daughter, were asked to remove their bras before entering the examination centre in Chathamangalam.
Following outrage and widespread protests over the alleged incident, the Human Rights Commission directed Kollam rural SP to investigate the matter and submit a report within 15 days.
The NTA had also set up a three-member fact-finding committee to probe the allegations and submit its report in four weeks.
