NTA Seeks Government Institutes for NEET-UG Computer-Based Exam Centres from 2027
The National Testing Agency (NTA) is preparing to conduct the NEET-UG medical entrance exam in computer-based test (CBT) mode from 2027, following a paper leak earlier this year. To facilitate this, NTA has asked the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to gather information from government institutions about their IT infrastructure and available space to establish Standard Testing Centres nationwide. This move aims to ensure secure, government-managed exam centres and address the logistical challenge of accommodating millions of candidates simultaneously.
