Parliamentary Panel Recommends Reforms for NEET Exam and NTA Accountability
A Parliamentary Committee has recommended reforms for the National Testing Agency (NTA) following the NEET (UG) 2026 exam cancellation due to a paper leak. Key suggestions include transitioning NEET to a computer-based test, establishing robust mechanisms to verify question setters' integrity, expanding question banks, and ensuring NTA's accountability to Parliament. The panel also advised allowing late-arriving candidates to take exams without extra time and proposed amendments to prevent public disruptions on exam days.
