Ex-Bureaucrats Demand Review of NTA and CBSE Amid Exam Controversies
A group of 73 retired civil servants, under the Constitutional Conduct Group, has called for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and demanded an independent, time-bound review of the National Testing Agency (NTA) and CBSE's evaluation systems. Their concerns follow controversies including the NEET-UG paper leak and issues with CBSE's digital evaluation for Class 12 exams, which they say have undermined public trust and affected millions of students. They urged stronger safeguards, decentralization, and third-party audits to prevent future failures.
