In a student-friendly move ahead of the NEET-UG examination scheduled for June 21, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has announced a 50 percent concession in bus fares for candidates travelling by Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) services. The decision comes as part of the state government’s arrangements to facilitate smooth travel for lakhs of aspirants appearing in one of India’s largest entrance examinations.

According to officials, the concession will be applicable to all NEET candidates travelling on UPSRTC buses upon showing their admit cards.
