We need a secure, valid, reliable, efficient, low-stress, and impartial system of examination to choose the best aspirants for the various professional graduate, postgraduate, and skill courses. This is essential to ensure that we get the best professionals to serve this nation.
Transparency in selection and certification processes will lead to acceptance of the results as valid with international recognition of our education and training systems and qualifications. This will encourage our youth to train here and will encourage the youth from around the world to come here. UPSC civil services examinations,
JEE, NEET UG, GATE, NDA, CLAT, and CA are among some of our most competitive national examinations.
UPSC is a three-tier exam consisting of a preliminary exam, a main exam, and an interview or personality test. UPSC also conducts the NDA written test, which is followed by a Services Selection Board interview and an outdoor skills test. The National Testing Agency (NTA) was set up in November 2017 to conduct entrance examination admissions and recruitment such as NEET UG, JEE, CMAT, CUET, and many other national selections.
NTA AND THE MESSY NEET UG 2024: This year's NEET exam has been marred by question paper leaks including on the darknet, organized cheating; mixup of question papers stored in the vaults of two separate nationalized banks in Jhajjar, Haryana, followed by delays and addition of grace marks to over 1,500 aspirants; and a record 67 candidates securing a perfect 720 out of 720 marks. The UGC-NET examination by NTA stands cancelled this year as the integrity of the examination has been compromised.
