NEET-UG 2027 to Shift to Computer-Based Test with NTA Overhaul Planned
From 2027, the NEET-UG exam will shift to a computer-based format conducted over five to six days at around 1,000 centres in 500 cities, mainly government institutions like Kendriya Vidyalayas. This change follows the 2026 paper leak that led to exam cancellation and protests. The Ministry of Education plans a comprehensive overhaul of the National Testing Agency (NTA), covering its structure, technology, and processes, based on recommendations from a committee led by former ISRO chairman K Radhakrishnan. The revamp aims to be completed by October.
