India Considers Computer-Based NEET Exam with Focus on Security and Accessibility
India's NEET UG exam, taken by over 22 lakh students annually, is proposed to shift from pen-and-paper to computer-based testing by 2027 to enhance security and reduce paper leaks. While this digital transition may streamline exam processes and benefit tech-savvy students, concerns remain about accessibility, especially for rural candidates, infrastructure readiness, and language inclusivity. A parliamentary panel supports multiple exam attempts to prevent students from losing a year amid these changes.
