Bihar Govt Announces Free Bus Travel for Students Appearing for NEET Re-Examination
State-run buses will be free for all NEET re-exam candidates as officials arrange water and sattu for students and parents at major transit points.
- On Saturday, Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary announced free travel on State-run buses for students appearing in the NEET UG re-examination scheduled for June 21, requiring only a valid admit card.
- This decision follows the cancellation of the initial NEET-UG examination on May 3 due to allegations of a paper leak, which the Central Bureau is currently investigating.
- State officials directed local administrations to arrange drinking water and "sattu" at major transit points to reduce the financial burden on families facing additional travel expenses.
- Local administrations are deploying extra buses and implementing traffic management plans, while authorities have been instructed to ensure smooth movement and prevent inconvenience for students and guardians.
- NEET remains one of India's most competitive entrance examinations, yet the government has not clarified whether free travel applies only on the examination day or extends through the test period.
