NTA Nears DigiLocker Integration for Access to Past NEET Scorecards
The National Testing Agency (NTA) is finalizing a DigiLocker-based system to allow candidates to retrieve past NEET scorecards after due authentication. This development arose during a Central Information Commission hearing following an RTI appeal by a 2020 NEET candidate seeking her scorecard, which the NTA could not provide due to a policy of retaining records for only 90 days post-result declaration. The new mechanism aims to prevent such access issues in the future.
