Elaborate arrangements have been made, including allocation of rooms, installation of jammers and CCTV cameras, and coordination meetings with around 50 invigilators to ensure smooth conduct of the examination.
"The exam has been conducted successfully earlier as well, and we aim to replicate the same arrangements this time," the Commissioner said.
He further informed that police and CRPF deployment will begin at 8:00 AM on the day of the examination. Candidates will be allowed entry between 11:00 AM and 1:30 PM after proper checking and frisking.
He added that teams for biometric verification, videography, and local police support will be stationed at the venue. Registration and supervision teams will ensure proper seating arrangements for candidates.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Sunday extended best wishes to lakhs of students appearing for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET)-UG 2026 re-examination, urging them to stay calm and arrive early at exam centres. In a post on X, NTA said, "This is the day you've prepared for. Stay calm, trust yourself, and give it your best - you've earned this moment. You've got this. We're rooting for you!" The agency also reminded candidates about key examination-day requirements and timings.
According to the advisory, entry to examination centres began at 11:00 AM, while the last entry is scheduled for 1:30 PM, after which no candidate will be allowed to enter.

NTA also urged aspirants to avoid carrying prohibited items, stay hydrated, account for traffic conditions and reach their examination centres well in advance.

Biometric verification is a good step, but I hope the process doesn't take too long for students. Last entry at 1:30 PM is reasonable though. Wishing all 600 students the very best! 🌟
CRPF deployment for a NEET exam? That's some serious security arrangement! 😮 But given the sensitivity of medical entrance exams, I guess it's necessary. Just hope students don't get intimidated by all the security.
I appreciate the detailed planning - room allocation, jammers, CCTV, biometric checks. This is how exams should be conducted everywhere in India. No scope for any malpractice. Kudos to Kalaburagi police for this transparent approach! 👏
NTA's message to students is nice but practical advice about traffic is more important. Many students might face last-minute issues. Hope all 25 blocks run smoothly! My cousin is appearing, fingers crossed 🤞
The coordination with 50 invigilators shows serious effort. Only concern is whether biometric verification will cause delays with 600 students. But overall, impressive security setup for a single exam center. Best of luck to all candidates!
As a former medical student, I'm glad to see such arrangements. But one suggestion: please ensure proper ventilation in the rooms
