Under fire over alleged irregularities in the UGC-NEET medical entrance examination and the cancellation of the UGC-NET exam, the Centre on Thursday formed a high-level committee to review the functioning of the National Testing Agency (NTA).
“We are committed to holding zero-error exams, and a high-level committee is being formed to improve NTA functioning,” Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said at a briefing.
“Recommendations will be expected from that high-level committee to further improve the NTA, its structure, functioning, examination process, transparency, and data security protocol. Strict action will be taken against any official of the NTA if found guilty,” Pradhan said.
“I want to assure everyone that the government is committed to protecting students’ rights. We will not compromise on transparency,” the minister said.
“We have received inputs from the Bihar government about the NEET examination. Patna Police is investigating the matter, and they will soon send a detailed report to the Government of India. Preliminary information indicates that errors were limited to a specific region,” Pradhan added. “Let us have faith in our systems; no irregularities or malpractices will be tolerated by the government,” the minister said.
