NTA Exam Reforms: The National Testing Agency (NTA) will not conduct recruitment exams from 2025 and will focus only on higher education entrance exams, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan announced on Tuesday, as reported by news agency PTI.
This decision is part of examination reforms recommended by a high-level panel formed earlier this year in response to the alleged NEET medical entrance exam leak and multiple cancellations of other exams due to suspected leaks and technical glitches.
Moreover, the Ministry is in discussions with the Health Ministry regarding the mode of conducting exams, exploring whether to retain the traditional pen-and-paper format or transition to a Computer-Based Test (CBT).
"NTA will be limited to conducting only entrance exams for higher education and will not conduct any recruitment exams from next year," Pradhan said, as reported by the news agency PTI.
The Minister also clarified that the Common University Entrance Test (CUET)-UG will continue to be conducted once a year.
"The government is looking at moving to computer adaptive test and technology-driven entrance exams in the near future," he said.
Pradhan said that NTA will be restructured in 2025.
"The agency will be restructured in 2025, at least ten new posts are being created and there will be many changes in functioning of NTA to ensure there is zero-error testing," he said.
