The Centre is considering enlisting the armed forces to assist with logistics for the NEET-UG re-examination on June 21, a first for any national entrance test.
A high-level review meeting chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh was held to discuss the examination chain, from question paper setting and printing to transportation, security, and last-mile delivery.
The meeting reviewed the entire examination process, with the Centre racing to ensure a secure and error-free exercise for over 2.2 million students.
Senior NTA officials stated that the armed forces' role would be confined to logistical coordination, secure transportation, and emergency contingencies linked to weather disruptions.
It would mark the first time the military is formally involved in logistics linked to a national entrance examination.
