Singh, Managing Director of the Transport Corporation) said that to avail the discount, candidates will have to show their NEET UG 2026 admit card during the journey. The conductor will issue tickets at concessional rates through Electronic Ticket Issuing Machine (ETIM) after verifying the admit card. Candidates will be provided tickets in child ticket category.

He said that the conductors will have to keep a copy of the admit card of each candidate safe. Besides, other necessary details including name of the candidate, roll number, journey route and ticket amount will also have to be recorded on the back side of the waybill, so that records can be made available if needed in future.

The Corporation has also given instructions that if for some reason concessional ticket cannot be issued from the ETIM machine, then manual ticket can be issued with the permission of the depot in-charge or center in-charge. In such a situation, the conductor will use the blank ticket book and enter all the information to the journey in the waybill.

Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Transport Dayashankar Singh said that the NEET UG 2026 exam will be held on June 21. Candidates appearing in the examination will get the facility to travel at half fare in roadways buses across the state on June 20 and 21, which will provide financial relief to them in reaching the examination center from remote areas.
