Good to see the railways thinking about students. But I hope they also ensure proper security in these trains — specially for women candidates traveling alone at night. Bihar mein ladkiyon ko bhi yahi opportunities milni chahiye. 👩🎓
Finally, a government initiative that actually helps common people! As a student who gave competitive exams, I know how tough it is to travel in general trains with so much crowd. This will definitely reduce anxiety for candidates. 👏
Lekin sirf Patna aur Patliputra se hi special trains kyun? Bihar ke doosre districts se bhi bahut candidates hain — jaise Gaya, Muzaffarpur, Bhagalpur. Unke liye bhi same facility honi chahiye. 😕
Ek suggestion: Railway ko aise special trains ka schedule online bhi dalna chahiye — WhatsApp ya SMS alerts through IRCTC. Bohot students ko pata hi nahi hoga ki aisi trains chal rahi hain. Awareness bhi zaroori hai! 📱
This is a practical step. But honestly, 11:30 PM and 1:00 PM trains — some schedules are odd. Students from rural areas might struggle to reach the station at night. Better coordination with exam centres would be appreciated. Still, kudos to East Central Railway for trying. 💪
