On May 23, 2026, the Bihar government declared that students appearing for the NEET UG re-examination on June 21 will receive free travel on state-run buses. Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary made the announcement on social media, emphasizing the importance of facilitating transportation for examinees. However, it remains unclear whether this free travel will be available solely on the examination day or for a period leading up to the test. To further support the students and their families, district administrations, temples, and non-governmental organizations are encouraged to provide essential services, including drinking water and 'sattu'—a flour made from dry-roasted and ground pulses and cereals—at bus stands, railway stations, and other significant locations. This initiative comes in the wake of the National Testing Agency (NTA) rescheduling the NEET UG examination to June 21 after the original exam on May 3 was canceled due to an alleged paper leak, which is currently being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation.
