Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Friday, May 29, said that the government has decided to provide free travel in Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) buses for all the candidates appearing in the NEET-UG 2026 retest on June 21.

Gupta shared that the candidates will be required to show their valid NEET-UG admit card to the bus conductor for availing the facility. She noted that following the recent cancellation of the NEET-UG 2026 examination, many candidates are now appearing for it once again, and in such a situation, it is natural for candidates and their families to face additional mental, financial and time-related pressure.
