Government to Form High-Level Committee for NTA Reforms

The government, led by Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, is set to establish a high-level committee to review and recommend reforms for the National Testing Agency. The move follows controversies surrounding NEET and UGC-NET. The committee aims to enhance transparency, data security, and ensure zero-error testing.

In a decisive move, the government will establish a high-level committee to scrutinize the National Testing Agency (NTA) and propose essential reforms, as announced by Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Thursday. The announcement follows heated debates over the medical entrance exam NEET and the cancellation of UGC-NET.

The committee is tasked with recommending improvements in various facets of NTA including its structural and functional aspects, examination processes, transparency measures, and data security protocols. The initiative underscores the government's commitment to achieving zero-error testing standards.

'The panel, which will include global experts, will be officially notified shortly,' Pradhan stated during a press conference.
