Nandan Nilekani Proposes AI-Generated Last-Minute Exam Papers and Expanded CBT to Prevent Leaks
Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani, leading a government task force on exam reforms, proposes using artificial intelligence to generate question papers at the last minute from a large question bank to prevent leaks. He advocates expanding computer-based testing (CBT) centers nationwide to support this shift. The reforms follow the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak, which led to student protests and the resignation of the education minister. Nilekani emphasized that these systemic issues are solvable and have strong government backing, including from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
