Honestly,whenever big entrance exam comes near,police restrictions around centres become serious matter because even small disturbance can create big stress for students.
For National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET-UG) 2026,Cyberabad police have issued notification effective on June 21,2026 . Main order says no gathering of five or more persons will be allowed within 200-metre radius of all NEET exam locations under their jurisdiction.
And this is not small thing ah. Parents,locals,random crowds,coaching people,everyone usually gathers around exam centres on such days . So banning groups near centres clearly shows police want complete control outside venues .
Cyberabad Police Commissioner M. Ramesh has also ordered that all photocopy and internet centres within 100-metre radius of examination venues must stay closed during exam period . Restrictions will remain in force from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m . on exam day.
Few key points from order:
- Gatherings of five or more persons banned within 200-metre radius of NEET exam centres.
- Photocopy and internet centres within 100-metre radius to remain closed from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Police officers,military personnel,Home Guards on duty,Education Department flying squads and funeral processions are exempt.
And tbh,closing photocopy and internet centres near exam halls makes sense in today’s situation . Exam-related rumours,leaks,printouts,last-minute chaos… authorities clearly don’t want any such mess happening near centres.
Police presence will also be heightened,with officers on duty to enforce restrictions . Authorities have warned that any violation can lead to prosecution under relevant laws,so this is not just advisory type announcement .
But at same time,students already carry so much pressure for NEET . Medical entrance in India is already emotionally heavy for families,and now entire area around centres will feel like high-security zone only.
Still,if rules help students write exam peacefully,then many parents may support it . Question is whether enforcement will stay smooth on ground without creating extra panic outside centres…
