Earlier, railways permitted students and their guardians to travel by special suburban services (Services or trains?) in Mumbai on exam days. General passengers are requested not to commute, Goyal said in a tweet.
While the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) is scheduled to be held on September 13, the engineering entrance exam JEE-Main will be conducted from September 1-6. The common NDA 2020 exam is scheduled to be held on September 6.
Around 8.58 lakh candidates have registered for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE)-Main and 15.97 lakh students for NEET.
These exams were earlier deferred twice in the wake of the pandemic.
