The North Goa district collector, Ankit Yadav, convened a meeting on Tuesday to review and finalize preparations for the NEET re-examination scheduled for June 21. During the session, Yadav directed all examination centers to ensure robust infrastructure, including uninterrupted power supply and comprehensive CCTV surveillance.
Focus on Candidate Experience
Yadav stressed the importance of a seamless experience for candidates. Officials were instructed to manage traffic effectively around examination centers and provide necessary support for candidates with disabilities and special needs. The Kadamba Transport Corporation (KTC) was tasked with arranging special buses for candidates and publicizing the service well in advance.

Detailed Readiness Assessment
A thorough assessment of preparedness at all centers was conducted. Yadav instructed centers to provide adequate drinking water, sanitation facilities, and appropriate seating arrangements for candidates.
Security and Anti-Cheating Measures
Security preparations were also reviewed, covering police deployment, secure handling of confidential examination materials, frisking procedures, biometric verification, and measures to prevent unfair means.
The health department was directed to provide medical teams and ambulances at every examination center.
Coordination and Professionalism
