NTA Plans to Transition NEET to Computer-Based Test, Task Force Working on Reforms
The National Testing Agency (NTA) plans to transition the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) to a computer-based test (CBT) format soon, according to NTA Director General Abhishek Singh. Currently, NEET is the only major NTA exam not conducted online, while exams like JEE, UGC-NET, CUET, and NIFT already use CBT. The shift requires expanding infrastructure and implementing safeguards. A high-powered task force led by Nandan Nilekani is working on reforms. The NTA also aims to strengthen domestic systems before offering cross-border examination services.
