Ex Isro chief Dr K Radhakrishnan to head panel formed to reform National Testing Agency

The education ministry on Saturday announced that a high-level committee of experts has been constituted to ensure transparent, smooth, and fair conduct of examinations by the National Testing Agency (NTA). The seven-member panel will be headed by former Isro chief Dr K Radhakrishnan.

The move comes days after NTA cancelled UGC-NET after its question paper was found to have been leaked on darknet. Apart



from that, there have also been allegations of irregularities in NEET, sparking debate over the process of examinations.

The high-level committee has been tasked with making recommendations on reforms in the examination process, improving data security protocols, and enhancing the structure and functioning of the NTA.

The committee has been asked to submit a report within two months.
