To Curb Paper Leaks, Centre Planning "Overhaul" Of Testing Body NTA: Sources
The central government is reportedly planning a significant overhaul of the National Testing Agency to address concerns over paper leaks. The move follows recent controversies surrounding large-scale examinations and aims to restore public trust in the testing process.
Following reports of systemic vulnerabilities in national examinations, the Centre is preparing to implement a comprehensive overhaul of the National Testing Agency (NTA). The primary focus of this initiative is to eliminate paper leaks and ensure the integrity of competitive exams across the country.
Key changes under consideration include a major restructuring of the NTA’s outsourcing methods. Sources indicate that the government intends to replace current external procedures with a more secure, leak-proof system to minimize the involvement of third-party vendors in sensitive tasks.
Technical upgrades and stricter oversight protocols are expected to be part of the transition. The revamp aims to modernize the testing infrastructure while holding the agency to higher standards of transparency and accountability during the examination cycle. NDTV
