The petition challenges a previous High Court decision that denied a re-test. Candidates reported outages lasting one to two hours, impacting their ability to complete the exam. The Madhya Pradesh High Court initially supported the students but later overturned its decision based on an expert committee's findings. The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the National Testing Agency and will hear the case next week.
