In an effort to resolve the ongoing issues within the National Testing Agency (NTA), the government is seeking constructive ideas and recommendations from individuals to improve the NTA exam process. The public has been encouraged to provide suggestions on the MyGov India website from June 27, 2024 to July 7, 2024.
The government has constituted a high-level committee headed by Dr K Radhakrishnan, former chairman of ISRO and chairman of the board of governors of IIT-Kanpur. The committee comprises members from government organisations, academia and higher education institutions and has been tasked with making recommendations on the following aspects:
- Improvement of the system of examination process
- Improving data security protocols
- Structure and functioning of NTA
This initiative has been taken in response to the recent controversies related to the NTA and the alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG examinations. The Education Ministry has said that the committee is seeking suggestions, ideas and opinions from various stakeholders, especially students and parents.
Individuals willing to submit their ideas should visit the MyGov India website, log in, and provide their personal details such as name, mobile number, email ID, state/UT, district, and category (student, parent/guardian, teacher/academic, expert-technology/data security, others) before making suggestions.
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan emphasised the government’s commitment to ensure transparent, smooth and fair examinations. He said, “The formation of a high-level committee of experts is the first in a series of steps taken to improve the efficiency of the examination process, eliminate all possible malpractices, strengthen data security protocols and reform the NTA. The interests of students and their bright future will always be the top priority of our government.”
The seven-member panel, headed by Dr K. Radhakrishnan, includes:
- Govind Jaiswal, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Education (Member-Secretary)
- Dr. Randeep Guleria, Former Director, AIIMS Delhi
- Professor B.J. Rao, Vice Chancellor, Hyderabad Central University
- Prof. Ramamurthy K, Professor Emeritus, Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Madras
- Pankaj Bansal, Co-founder, People Strong and Board Member, Karmayogi Bharat
- Professor Aditya Mittal, Dean of Student Affairs, IIT Delhi
The committee has been directed to submit its report within two months and is also free to engage any subject experts for assistance. The move is part of the government’s broader efforts to ensure the integrity and efficiency of national examinations.
