Speaking to ANI, one of the candidates appearing for the exam expressed surprise that the exam was not postponed, given the recent unrest. "It was expected, looking at the disturbance that was going on for 4-5 days, that the exams would be postponed, but it didn't happen," the student said.

Authorities have made extensive arrangements to ensure the smooth and fair conduct of the exam.

To prevent any instances of malpractice or cheating, strict security measures have been enforced. An additional police force has been deployed at all exam centres.

The first shift of the examination will begin at 9:00 AM. Candidates are required to reach their respective exam centres by 8:00 AM, failing which they will not be allowed to enter the premises.

Officials have urged candidates to carry valid ID proof, admit cards, and follow all instructions carefully to avoid any last-minute issues.

"Today, I had a warm meeting with Shri Mahesh Kumar ji, a talented student of Hanumangarh district, who brought pride to Rajasthan by securing first position in the NEET UG-2025 examination in the entire country, at the Chief Minister's residence and congratulated him for this achievement and wished him a bright future. I also congratulated his parents present on the occasion for their guidance in this success," CM Bhajanlal posted on X.

Best wishes to all RAS aspirants! 👏 It's good that exams weren't postponed despite disturbances - shows administration's commitment. But hope they provided extra transport facilities given the situation. Rajasthan's youth showing great potential with both RAS and NEET achievements!

As someone who gave RAS prelims last year, I know how tough this journey is. The mains paper pattern changed recently making it even more challenging. Hope the question paper was balanced this time. All the best to my juniors!

While celebrating NEET toppers is good, we must also focus on improving rural education infrastructure. Many talented students from villages don't get proper coaching. Government should establish more quality institutes in districts like Hanumangarh.

The administration did right by not postponing RAS mains. Frequent postponements affect preparation cycles. But they should have announced this decision clearly earlier to avoid confusion. 8 AM reporting time is too early - many candidates come from far areas.

Heartwarming to see CM meeting NEET topper! Such recognition motivates other students. But wish they showed same enthusiasm for state exam toppers too. RAS officers contribute significantly to Rajasthan's development - they deserve equal appreciation. ✨
