CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET-2026) is being held on June 21, 2026. To facilitate thousands of candidates appearing in the examination and ensure smooth travel to their examination centres, West Central Railway's Bhopal Division has made special arrangements.
Considering the likelihood of a large number of candidates arriving in the key examination-centre cities under the Bhopal Division—Bhopal, Vidisha, Hoshangabad, Guna and Ashoknagar—special help booths have been set up at the concerned railway stations. Railway employees posted at these booths will provide the candidates with necessary guidance and assistance.
Senior Divisional Commercial Manager Saurabh Kataria said the help booths will assist candidates with information on routes to examination centres, local transport facilities, essential details about station premises and other useful inputs. In addition, the enquiry system and public announcement system in station premises have also been strengthened for the convenience of passengers and candidates.
On the day of the examination, additional deployment of staff from the Railway Protection Force and the commercial and operating departments has been made so that passenger movement at station premises and on platforms remains smooth. Arrangements for queue management, guidance and crowd control have also been ensured as required.
In cities with examination centres falling under the jurisdiction of the Bhopal Division, an estimated 13,774 candidates are expected to appear in Bhopal, 1,839 in Guna, 1,709 in Vidisha, 1,283 in Hoshangabad and 865 in Ashoknagar. The railway administration has directed special monitoring at all these stations and necessary support for the candidates.
The railway administration has appealed to candidates and their parents to reach the station with sufficient time for travel and to contact the help booths set up at stations or railway staff for any kind of assistance.
