Centre Develops National CBT Infrastructure to Transition NEET-UG Online by 2027
Following a NEET-UG paper leak earlier this year, the Ministry of Education is developing a national Computer-Based Testing (CBT) infrastructure strategy to transition the exam from pen-and-paper to online mode by 2027. The plan aims to standardize test centers, address geographic and accessibility gaps, and eventually move all entrance exams online. A final decision awaits recommendations from a high-level task force led by Nandan Nilekani, which is reviewing examination reforms and infrastructure requirements, including impacts on rural and low-connectivity candidates.
