Calcutta HC denies NEET candidate’s migration plea due to Non-receipt of OTP

The Calcutta High Court has denied relief to a NEET candidate from the EWS category who sought to migrate from JIS Medical College, a private institution, to a government medical college. The petitioner argued that his EWS rank in the NEET UG exam was sufficient for admission to a government college. However, he claimed that when attempting to participate in the admission process, he did not receive the OTP required from the admission portal.
The petitioner, who claimed he did not receive the OTP for registration during the first round, only attempted to generate it on the last day of counselling. Despite contacting the helpline, he was advised to join the private college and later seek migration. The court noted that the candidate waited until the last day to generate the OTP, delayed raising objections, and filed the writ petition after the counselling process had ended, leading to the dismissal of his appeal.
