Over 100 candidates from Tamil Nadu appeared for NEET in Rajasthan on Sunday after travelling more than 2,000 km to reach their exam centres. The exam was conducted in six cities, including Jaipur, in the State.
The NEET aspirants, mostly accompanied by their parents, arrived here by train, road and air. The Rajasthan Tamil Sangam had made arrangements for the students’ stay, food and transport.
However, very few candidates contacted the Sangam though it had tried to reach out to them through social media platforms, Sangam member S. Muruganandam told The Hindu .
Mr. Muruganandam said the Sangam had posted its volunteers at the railway station and bus stand to help provide food and local transport, especially to those who don’t speak Hindi. The Sangam had earlier received calls from about 30 NEET aspirants. Most of the candidates made their own arrangements for boarding and lodging.
