The Home Secretary directed officials to ensure strict adherence to security protocols and emphasised that the examination should be conducted in a flawless manner. The meeting was attended by the chairman of the Railway Board, secretaries of the Departments of School Education and Literacy, Higher Education and Posts, directors general of the CRPF, CISF, BCAS and NTA, along with senior officers from the Ministries of Defence and Health and Family Welfare.
States and Union Territories were also requested to facilitate smooth travel for candidates appearing in the re-test. The Railway Board assured full cooperation in supporting student movement, the statement said.
The NEET (UG) 2026 examination for admission to undergraduate medical courses was conducted on May 3 and subsequently cancelled after allegations of irregularities surfaced. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has since arrested paper setters, translators and middlemen accused of passing examination material to candidates in exchange for large sums of money.
