After hearing concerns raised by students and families, Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann announced free bus travel for NEET aspirants across Punjab during the examination period.
The move is being seen as a major relief for thousands of students travelling long distances for competitive exams, especially those from rural and lower income backgrounds. Supporters say the decision will help reduce financial stress and make exam access easier for aspirants across the state.
With this step, Punjab has become the first state in India to introduce statewide free travel support specifically for NEET aspirants.
