NEET Re-Exam 2026: IAF To Be Roped In For NEET Re-Exam Paper Transport, Says Dharmendra Pradhan

The Indian Air Force (IAF) will be roped in to assist in the transportation of question papers for the NEET UG re-examination scheduled for June 21, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said on Thursday, underscoring the government's push for enhanced security and leak-proof examination processes. Speaking to a media channel, Pradhan said the government follows a "whole-of-government approach" involving multiple departments, including the postal system, the Home Ministry, and state governments, to ensure the smooth and fair conduct of examinations. "In previous examinations, there was a major role for the postal department, the Home Ministry, and state governments. We have taken their help earlier and will continue with a whole-of-government approach to ensure smooth, free, and fair examinations," he said.
