NTA Faces Scrutiny Over Exam Leaks, Experts Call for Structural Reforms
The National Testing Agency (NTA) faces scrutiny after multiple exam cancellations and paper leaks in NEET-UG and UGC-NET, causing student distress and protests leading to the education minister's resignation. Experts and former officials call for deep structural reforms, enhanced security measures, and improved accountability rather than scrapping the agency. NTA has introduced a four-stage vetting process for exam paper setters and plans further procedural checks to restore trust and ensure examination integrity.
