The Common Eligibility Test (CET) 2025, conducted across Haryana on July 26-27, turned into an outstanding example of how government, administration, police, and society can work hand-in-hand to create a hassle-free and humane environment for lakhs of candidates and their families. Several candidates and their families expressed heartfelt gratitude to Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini for the seamless arrangements made during the CET 2025 examination.
Meanwhile, across various districts, social and religious organizations arranged food, water, and accommodation for examinees. In Kaithal, Vaishno Sewa Samiti set up camps outside RKSD College, Jat College, and Government School at Jakholi Adda, offering tea, water, and food. They also provided tents, chairs, coolers, and fans to ensure that visitors remained comfortable.
Kuldeep, a member of Vaishno Sewa Samiti, said, “The government has paid special attention to candidates this time. Everyone visiting the camp has been praising Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini for the excellent arrangements.” A parent of a candidate echoed this sentiment, saying that this year, there were no issues related to travel, food, or accommodation, and the Nayab government had “done a tremendous job.”
At Kaithal bus stand, Nar Narayan Sewa Samiti organized a ‘langar’ for candidates, while Mahant Triveni Das distributed drinking water outside multiple exam centres. Kaithal Deputy Commissioner, Ms. Preeti personally visited a camp organized by Maa Vaishno Devi Sanstha and appreciated their service efforts.
Administration Leads by Example
In Karnal, Nilokheri SDM, Sh. Ashok Kumar set an inspiring example when a candidate, Renu Devi, was injured in a motorcycle accident on her way to the exam. The SDM personally ensured she received first aid and then drove her in his own vehicle to the exam centre in time, enabling her to take the exam. Renu Devi and her husband expressed heartfelt gratitude to the SDM and the Karnal district administration.
Free Transport and Police Assistance
Responding to the government’s appeal, social activists also arranged free transport for candidates. In Sirsa, a volunteer Ajmer Singh used his own cars to ferry candidates to exam centres. The police too went the extra mile, helping candidates who reached the wrong centres or faced vehicle breakdowns. Quick responses to Dial 112 ensured that no candidate missed their exam due to unforeseen issues.
Two candidates who mistakenly reached Rania instead of Sirsa exam centres were safely dropped off by the police after a quick helpline call. A female candidate, Jyoti, who faced a similar issue, also praised the prompt police support.
Helplines Became a Lifeline
In Faridabad, special helpline numbers and Dial 112 worked as problem-solvers for candidates. Deputy Commissioner, Sh. Vikram Singh and Commissioner of Police (CP), Sh. Satender Kumar Gupta personally monitored complaints, ensuring immediate resolution. Around 200 calls related to bag storage, parking, and transport assistance were addressed with 100 percent resolution. The Emergency Response Vehicle teams actively transported candidates to their exam centres.
Relieved and Grateful, Parents Praise Seamless CET Arrangements
Parents accompanying candidates appreciated the government’s arrangements. Premchand from Palwal’s Misa village, who travelled to Ballabhgarh with his son, said that all travel-related worries disappeared after seeing the help desks and guidance provided by district administration staff.
Special Transport for Mahendragarh Candidates
Candidates from Mahendragarh, who had centres in Rewari, were provided with special buses from Mahendragarh bus stand. After reaching Rewari, they were taken to their respective centres via route-wise buses and were also brought back after the exam.
Priyanka, a student from Ghari village, and Amar from Mandola village appreciated the arrangements, saying they faced no difficulty at any point. Special provisions for bag storage were also made for students who came alone. “Such facilities reduce exam-day stress and boost confidence,” said the candidates while thanking the Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini government for being a true supporter on humanitarian grounds.
Notably, the CET 2025 thus became not just an exam, but a showcase of seamless coordination, humane governance, and community participation – reinforcing people’s trust in the state government under Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini’s leadership.
