NTA Seeks Government Institutes' Infrastructure for Computer-Based NEET-UG Exam Centres
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has requested the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to gather information from government institutions about their IT infrastructure and available space to establish computer-based testing centres for the NEET-UG exam starting in 2027. This move follows a paper leak incident and aims to ensure testing centres meet strict standards, excluding small private players. AICTE has asked its affiliated government colleges to provide verified details by mid-September for assessment and planning.
