The education ministry has brought in personnel from the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) to transport question papers for the June 21 National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate) (NEET-UG) re-examination.
The CRPF and CISF personnel will be assisted by state police forces at each centre when transporting the papers from airports to banks and then to exam centres.
They will guard the papers during their journey from the origin hubs of Hyderabad and Ahmedabad to the 551 hub cities where the exams will be conducted.
The decision comes after the original May 3 examination was cancelled following confirmation that the question paper had been compromised.
The NEET UG re-test is being conducted at 5,435 centres across 551 cities in India and 14 centres abroad.
