Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has reached out to chief ministers, lieutenant governors, and administrators across states and Union Territories to ensure the smooth conduct of the NEET-UG re-examination set for June 21. This decision follows the cancellation of the initial exam held on May 3 due to allegations of a paper leak. In his letter, Pradhan emphasized the need for states to provide essential amenities at examination centers, particularly in light of the ongoing heatwave affecting the country. He urged local authorities to ensure the availability of safe drinking water, adequate seating, functional fans and coolers, clean washrooms, shaded waiting areas, and uninterrupted electricity supply. Additionally, he called for transportation arrangements for candidates to facilitate their travel on exam day. Pradhan underscored that the well-being of students is paramount and expressed confidence that all states and UTs would cooperate to conduct the NEET-UG re-examination in a smooth, transparent, and fair manner.
