Centre Extends Deadline for Nandan Nilekani-Led Exam Reform Panel to January 2027
The Centre has extended the deadline for the Nandan Nilekani-led six-member task force on exam reforms to January 2027. Formed in July after student protests and the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, the panel has received over 50,000 suggestions from diverse stakeholders. It has consulted former ISRO chairman K Radhakrishnan, whose earlier committee addressed NEET paper leaks. The task force aims to recommend measures to prevent exam irregularities and submit its report by the new deadline.
