Four-Tier Question Paper Checking System
A four-tier question paper checking mechanism will be introduced to strengthen scrutiny and minimise errors in examination papers. The new system is aimed at improving the quality and reliability of question-setting and verification.
The government and NTA also reviewed the agency’s staffing requirements. Around 20-25 officials are expected to be inducted over the next two to three weeks, while a further induction plan was also discussed.
NTA Offices to Shift to New Premises
NTA offices will be shifted to new premises on a war footing, with enhanced security arrangements planned at the new location. CISF teams will be deployed to reinforce security measures.
The latest measures come amid efforts to strengthen NTA’s examination infrastructure, staffing, question-paper scrutiny and security arrangements to ensure the smooth and transparent conduct of future examinations.
