This move by IIT students and former students comes amidst a situation when things are increasingly becoming challenging.

And in this situation what is likely to take a backseat is transportation. Lack of this facility will make it difficult for JEE Mains and NEET aspirants to reach the exam centres, says T. Manoharan, a Physics lecturer.

Social media became an obvious platform in the whole gamut of developments for NEET and JEE aspirants to express concerns over lack of transport and the risks involved on travelling.

These concerns seems to have been taken note of by IIT students and alumni. They did not lose a minute and began developing a portal which can address the concerns of NEET and JEE aspirants.

Speaking more about the platform, couple of IIT students and former students said that the portal named ‘Eduride’ can be of great help to candidates coming from remote areas in reaching exam centres.

The portal developed by IIT students and former students is divided into two sections for registration. While one section is for students to register, the other section is for alumni or volunteers to register.

Students (JEE Mains or NEET aspirants) who want transport services have to go to the website ‘https://www.eduride.in/’ and click ‘Student’ link written in black colour on yellow background to register.

IIT alumni or volunteers who are ready to offer transport services to help JEE Mains or NEET aspirants reach the exam centres must click ‘Alumni/Volunteer’ button written in black colour on yellow blackground and register themselves.

Alumni or volunteers can go the website of Eduride at ‘https://www.eduride.in/’ for registration. Alumni or volunteers can offer services in three ways.

They can themselves drive the students to the exam centres or can arrange travel for the exam aspirants to reach their exam centres or donate to facilitate the transport.

Aspirants for NEET or JEE Mains can register on the above website and seek transport help to reach their exam centres and IIT students or former students or volunteers will be there to offer transport services.

Keeping an alternative for students writing the exams will prove useful incase the promised help sought from the website does not materialise due to one reason or the other.
