NEET Re-examination in Delhi: 97 Centres, Tight Security
The national capital is fully prepared for the NEET-UG re-examination scheduled for June 21, with extensive security arrangements and student-friendly measures in place to ensure a smooth and fair experience. A total of 97 examination centres have been established across Delhi, including 69 in government schools and 28 in Kendriya Vidyalayas.
Authorities have implemented multi-layer security arrangements at all centres to prevent unfair practices. These include biometric verification, strict entry protocols, and close coordination between administrative officials, police, and examination authorities. A nationwide mock drill was conducted ahead of the exam to assess preparedness and reinforce security measures.
Free Bus Travel and Cooling Zones Announced
In a major relief for candidates, the Delhi Government has announced free travel on Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) buses for all NEET aspirants on June 21. Students can avail of this facility by showing their admit cards to the bus conductor.
Additionally, special cooling zones have been established outside all 97 examination centres. These zones provide seating arrangements, ORS drinks, drinking water, shikanji, first-aid support, and tea for parents waiting outside. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta stated, “Respecting the dreams of every student and the hopes of every parent is the responsibility of the government.” She added, “While candidates remain inside the examination halls, heat and discomfort faced by parents waiting outside for several hours often go unnoticed. Recognising this human aspect, the Delhi Government has created cooling zones around the examination centres.”
Measures to Prevent Unfair Practices
The Centre has taken several steps to curb misinformation and prevent potential paper leaks, including temporary restrictions on Telegram. Officials have coordinated extensively to ensure the examination is conducted in a secure, transparent, and student-friendly manner. With lakhs of medical aspirants appearing for the re-test across the country, all necessary arrangements have been made.
Chief Minister Gupta extended her best wishes to students and their families, emphasising that the measures aim to ensure students face no transportation-related inconvenience and can reach their centres on time with complete concentration and confidence.
