A day ahead of the NEET examination, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta extended her best wishes to students and their families, saying that the Delhi government has ensured that no family faces unnecessary difficulties related to transportation, heat or long waiting hours on the day of the exam.

Gupta said that lakhs of students are set to appear for the examination tomorrow, which will be an important step towards achieving their dreams.

She said NEET candidates will be allowed to travel free of cost on DTC buses, while special cooling zones have also been set up outside all 97 examination centres for parents and family members.

“Respecting the dreams of every student and the hopes of every parent is the responsibility of the government,” she said, adding that the entire city is wishing success to every candidate appearing for the examination.

According to Gupta, a total of 97 examination centres have been designated for the NEET examination in Delhi, and special cooling zones are being established by the district administration near all these centres.

She said this is the first time that special waiting arrangements have been made, keeping in mind the comfort and convenience not only of students appearing for the examination but also of their parents and family members.

She noted that while candidates remain inside the examination halls, the concerns, 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, where parents will have access to seating and resting facilities, along with clean drinking water, shikanji, ORS, tea and first-aid support. Comfortable waiting arrangements will be available for them outside the examination centres.

The Chief Minister said that to avail themselves of the free travel facility, candidates will only need to show their valid NEET admit card to the bus conductor.

She said the government’s effort is to ensure that students do not face any transportation-related inconvenience on the day of the examination and are able to reach their centres on time and appear for the test with complete concentration and confidence.

Gupta said that the hard work, time and future of the youth are extremely important, adding that her government remains committed to providing every possible support and convenience to students during their education and competitive examinations.
