The Indian government is contemplating the use of Indian Air Force (IAF) aircraft to transport question papers for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate) or NEET-UG retest, scheduled for June 21. This consideration follows a high-level meeting led by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, which also included Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia. The meeting addressed all aspects of the examination process, from the creation and printing of question papers to their secure transportation. Although no final decision has been made, the proposal will be presented to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for approval.
