NTA Seeks Government Institutions for NEET Computer-Based Exam Centres After Paper Leak
Following the NEET-UG paper leak and subsequent exam cancellation in May, the National Testing Agency (NTA) is planning to shift the exam to a computer-based format next year. To facilitate this, NTA has requested the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to gather information on IT infrastructure and available space from government institutions. This initiative aims to establish Standard Testing Centres nationwide, reflecting ongoing reforms after the paper leak incident that led to Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation.
