India Considers Computer-Based Testing for NEET-UG Amid Exam Reforms
The Indian government is considering transitioning the NEET-UG medical entrance exam from pen-and-paper to computer-based testing (CBT) following a paper leak incident. A national examination-grade CBT infrastructure strategy is being developed to address challenges like test centre availability and standardisation. The Nandan Nilekani-led high-powered task force is reviewing reforms for public examinations, including security and centre management, with final decisions pending their recommendations. The move aims to enhance examination integrity and accessibility nationwide.
