Following allegations of irregularities in the NEET and NET exams, a government committee is seeking public input to restructure the National Testing Agency (NTA). The committee, led by former ISRO chairman K. Radhakrishnan, is accepting suggestions until July 7th to improve NTA’s functioning and address concerns about exam security and data protection.
A high-level committee, led by former ISRO chief K Radhakrishnan, has been formed to address concerns regarding the transparency and security of examinations conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). The committee will engage with students and parents, review the NTA’s structure and functioning, and propose reforms to improve data security protocols. This initiative comes amidst growing controversies surrounding alleged irregularities in competitive exams like NEET and NET.
Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of neglecting the concerns of Indian youth, specifically citing the cancellation of the NET exam and alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG exam. Gogoi criticized the government’s inconsistent approach to the two exams, questioning the cancellation of NET while giving a clean chit to the NTA regarding NEET. He announced nationwide protests by the Congress party to highlight these issues.
