The North Central Railway has rolled out thirteen special trains to support candidates taking the Uttar Pradesh Preliminary Eligibility Test (PET) 2026. The initiative reflects the railways' commitment to reducing travel barriers for aspirants appearing in the competitive examination.
The special train services have been strategically deployed across North Central Railway's operational network to connect major cities and towns in Uttar Pradesh and neighbouring areas. This multi-train arrangement is expected to accommodate a large volume of test candidates while maintaining schedule reliability.
The decision comes as part of broader efforts by Indian Railways to support educational and competitive examinations across the country. By providing dedicated transportation options, the railway authority aims to enable candidates from remote and underserved areas to reach examination centres without logistical challenges.
Candidates availing these special services will benefit from enhanced frequency and targeted scheduling aligned with examination timelines. The North Central Railway has coordinated with state authorities to ensure the train schedules complement the test administration framework.
