Punjab announces similar initiative

Mann said many aspirants come from economically weaker backgrounds and often struggle with travel expenses during competitive examinations.
He announced that Punjab Roadways buses would provide complimentary travel to NEET candidates from June 20 to June 22 upon showing their admit cards.
States roll out student-friendly measures
Several state governments have recently introduced candidate-friendly measures aimed at supporting students appearing for national-level entrance examinations.
The initiatives are intended to ease logistical challenges and help candidates focus on their exams without additional financial or travel-related burdens.
