NTA Plans Computer-Based NEET Transition and Global Expansion of Exam Framework
The National Testing Agency (NTA) plans to transition the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) to a computer-based test (CBT) format soon, aligning it with other major exams like JEE and UGC-NET. This shift requires expanding infrastructure and implementing robust safeguards. A high-powered task force led by Nandan Nilekani is overseeing the transition. Additionally, the NTA aims to strengthen its domestic examination systems using AI and biometric verification before exploring cross-border exam services and sharing its digital framework with other countries, including BRICS nations.
