DMRC Announcement On CBSE Boards: The CBSE Class 10 and 12 examinations for the 2026-27 academic session are currently underway. With over 43 lakh students appearing for the exams between February 17 and April 10, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has announced special measures to ensure smooth and hassle-free travel for candidates.
To manage the increased footfall during this period, the DMRC, in coordination with the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), will implement special facilitation arrangements at metro stations. Centralised announcements will also be made to guide and assist students.
What Benefits Does This Provide?
Under the arrangement, students carrying their CBSE examination admit cards will be given priority during security checks at all Delhi Metro stations. In addition to faster frisking, they will also be prioritised while purchasing tickets at Ticket Office Machines (TOM) and Customer Care (CC) centres.
"With Lakhs of students commuting across the city, DMRC in partnership with CISF is implementing special facilitation measures at metro stations to accommodate the increased footfall on examination days", DMRC said in a post on X.com.
