Parliamentary Panel Recommends Computer-Based NEET-UG, Age Limits, and NTA Reforms
A Parliamentary panel has recommended shifting the NEET-UG exam to a computer-based test (CBT) format, establishing age and attempt limits, and enhancing the National Testing Agency's (NTA) accountability to Parliament. The panel also called for government-owned exam centers, secure and diverse question banks, and stricter vetting of question setters to prevent leaks. Additionally, it suggested allowing late-arriving candidates to take exams for the remaining time without extra allowance and proposed regulatory oversight of coaching institutes to improve fairness and transparency.
