Instamart’s ‘Dahi-Cheeni’ Stalls Outside Delhi Re-NEET Exam Centers Win Internet

Usually, food carts, trucks or stalls are not what students bother with outside their test centres right before their examinations; however, the scenes outside Re-NEET exam centres in Delhi were a bit different. Going all traditional for students appearing at the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, Undergraduate (NEET UG) 2026 re-examination, Swiggy’s Instamart seemingly decided to surprise young candidates with stalls selling ‘dahi-cheeni’ combinations outside several test centres in the national capital. A picture of students buying a ‘dahi-cheeni’ box from an Instamart stall was shared online, which went viral and left people amused.For those confused, many Indians believe in consuming ‘dahi-cheeni’ for luck, right before an important

moment . The practice is more commonly done before exams or interviews. One of the images showed the inside of the box, which had a sealed cup of curd, along with a sachet of sugar. The outer box also had some rather encouraging words written on it, “Papaer kardoge beat, exam hoga ekdum NEET.”Check out the viral post: “The dahi-cheeni ritual outside NEET centres in Delhi,” the post read.

Internet’s reaction: “Yea lets milk the fear as much as can be … these students are anyway nervous and scared because of the inefficient system so why not make some extra bucks on the sides. Until it’s free, in that case it’s fine,” added another. “They are always come with new idea of marketing,” commented the next person. “New and innovative way of marketing. It’s nice to see brands are considering such creative ways to advertise,” added another person. “Great marketing, but NTA leaks papers faster than Instamart delivers,” joked another.The NEET UG exam for 2026 was first held on May 03, only to later be cancelled following the paper leak reports. NEET UG is a national-level medical entrance examination in India, which is conducted for students seeking admission to undergraduate medical, dental, and AYUSH courses in government and private institutions.
