Indian Railways has decided to operate special trains in Madhya Pradesh to help students appearing for the NEET UG 2026 re-examination. This move comes after the National Testing Agency (NTA) scheduled the re-exam for June 21, 2026, following the cancellation of the May 3 exam. West Central Railway (WCR) and Western Railway (WR) are coordinating these services to manage the expected rush of candidates.
