NTA Concludes Four-Day Chintan Shivir to Strengthen Exam Systems and TrustPreviousNext

The National Testing Agency (NTA) recently held a four-day Chintan Shivir at its new Minto Road premises to review and strengthen examination systems following the NEET paper leak controversy and the resignation of former Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The sessions focused on three priorities: integrity, inclusion, and innovation. Discussions aimed to improve candidate experience, enhance technology use, and build greater trust in exam processes. The NTA emphasized this as a step toward a more transparent, responsive, and reliable examination system.
