The Delhi government on Friday announced free travel for candidates of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (Undergraduate) or NEET (UG) on Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) buses on June 21, the day of the re-examination.

Candidates will have to show their valid admit cards to avail themselves of the facility, according to the Chief Minister’s Office.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) had cancelled the NEET-UG examination on May 3 following allegations of a paper leak.

Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal claimed that the Delhi government’s decision came after a similar announcement by the Punjab government.

“After the Punjab government, now the Delhi government has also made buses free for NEET students,” he stated in a post on X.

The alleged paper leak is being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation.
