"He was nervous, will feel better as he writes exam": Father of Nagpur NEET-UG aspirant who was initially allotted Abu Dhabi centre
Nagpur Jun, e 21
Abdullah Mohammad Talib, whose family stated that he was allocated a school in Abu Dhabi as exam centre for the NEET-UG examination, came to an examination venue in Nagpur to sit in the competitive test.
His father, Mohammad Talib, said the student was apprehensive and will feel better as he writes the exam.
"We were able to convince him with great difficulty. He wasn't getting ready at all, he'd been vomiting all night. He was very nervous. He woke up around ten in the morning. He didn't do any revision. Consider him 50 percent confident. He's forcing himself to sit for the exam because we convinced him. He's not very confident, but he's finished his studies. Once he starts writing the exam, he'll gradually become normal," he told ANI.
Mohammad Talib said they did not fill wrong examination centre.
"I don't call the NTA's statement wrong, because they must have some proof. But this did not happen from our side. Someone must have done this mischief. Who is that person? NTA and us got defamed. If we were not so determined, the child could have done something else too. It did not happen from our side. Why would we want to go outside and give the exam. We have no source there, no relative, no passport, no money, nothing. Why will we send him to Abu Dhabi," he added.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Saturday allotted PM SHRI Kendriya Vidyalaya, Ajni, Nagpur as the examination centre to Abdullah Mohammad Talib after he was initially assigned an exam centre in Abu Dhabi.

I can feel his father's pain. "If we were not so determined, the child could have done something else too." That line hits hard. Parents in this country sacrifice everything for their kids' education. The NTA needs to ensure their system is foolproof.
This is exactly why we need better checks in the system. How does a kid from Nagpur get allotted an Abu Dhabi center without any application? And then the NTA blames the family? Absolutely ridiculous. 🤦♂️
The stress these kids go through is unimaginable. Vomiting all night, no revision, zero confidence... and then you add this glitch. Hats off to the father for convincing him. But honestly, the NTA should be ashamed. They've caused so much mental agony.
Look, I get that mistakes happen. But the way NTA handled this is pathetic. First they mess up, then they play the blame game. The family has no passport, no money, no relatives abroad—and the NTA thinks they did this deliberately? Get real.
I'm just relieved they fixed it in time. Can you imagine if the boy had refused to write the exam altogether? A whole year wasted, dreams shattered. The parents must have been through hell. Wishing Abdullah all the best for his exam. ❤️
