Mumbai: The Central Railway has cancelled the daytime Mega Block on Sunday, May 3, to ease travel for NEET UG 2026 students. The announcement comes as the Central Railway usually undertakes a mega block during morning hours, when several trains run late or are cancelled.

Hence, to make sure there is no inconvenience for students, the morning block has been cancelled. This comes as the National Testing Agency is scheduled to conduct the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (UG) 2026 at various locations across India and abroad on May 3, from 2 pm to 5 pm, in pen-and-paper mode.

Midnight Block Will Be Carried Out

Coming back to the statement by the Central Railway, it informed that a midnight block will be carried out on the Main Line and the Harbour Line, between CSMT and Vidyavihar and Thane to Vashi/Nerul.
