Additional counters will also be opened at important stations to make travel convenient for the exam candidates.
Earlier, the Kolkata metro had announced that it would operate train services exclusively for NEET aspirants and their guardians on the date of the examination, i.e., September 13. Examinees will have to show NEET admit cards at the gates of Metro stations, Metro Railway spokesperson Indrani Banerjee had said.
“No token will be issued to commuters and only printed card tickets will be issued to the bonafide students and their guardians,” she had said.
