Priority for Board Exam Students at Metro Stations
To ensure a hassle-free journey for board exam candidates, DMRC has implemented measures to prioritize students at both ticket sales and security checks. Anuj Dayal, Principal Executive Director, Corporate Communications, Delhi Metro, confirmed that students will be allowed to skip the usual waiting times at ticket counters. Students who present their admit cards will receive priority at Ticket Office Machines (TOM) and Customer Care (CC) centers.
Dayal further encouraged students to plan their travel ahead of time, directing them to visit the official DMRC website or use the DMRC Momentum app to check routes and schedules. Additionally, special centralised announcements will be made across metro stations to guide students on exam days.
Enhancing Student Experience at Metro Stations
In preparation for the surge in passengers, DMRC has worked closely with schools, informing principals about nearby metro stations and available support. The corporation has also requested schools to display posters containing QR codes that allow easy ticket booking for students.
To further assist students, a detailed list of metro stations closest to examination centres has been uploaded on the DMRC website and mobile app. These resources are designed to ensure smooth travel and timely arrival at exam centres.
