Priority in Security Checks: Students carrying valid CBSE Admit Cards will be given priority during frisking and security screening at metro stations.
-
Priority in Ticketing: Students showing their Admit Cards will also receive priority while purchasing tickets at Ticket Office Machines (TOM) and Customer Care (CC) centres.
-
Centralized Announcements: Special announcements will be made at metro stations to guide and assist students during peak exam hours.
Ensuring Stress-Free Commute
The CBSE Board Exams 2026, conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), are among the most significant academic milestones for students. Recognizing the importance of punctuality and ease of travel during this crucial period, DMRC’s initiative aims to reduce travel-related anxiety and ensure timely arrival at examination centres.
DMRC officials have urged students to carry their admit cards at all times while traveling and advised commuters to cooperate with metro staff to facilitate smooth movement.
