Government Forms Task Force Led by Nilekani to Reform National Exam System
The Indian government has established a High-Powered Task Force chaired by Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani to reform the examination system, including tests conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). The task force aims to implement multi-day computer-based testing for NEET-UG starting in 2027, enhance exam security, infrastructure, and accessibility, and engage public feedback by mid-September. This initiative follows recent student protests and the resignation of the education minister, with the panel expected to submit recommendations by October.
