The police in this Rajasthan city reported that Bharat, a student preparing for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) for medical college admissions, hailed from Dholpur, a city within the same state but located 400 km away from Kota.

Every year, more than two lakh students relocate to Kota to prepare for competitive exams like the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) for engineering and the NEET.
