NTA NEET exam reforms - Centre to implement expert panel's recommendations
New Delhi: After the High-Level Committee of Experts (HLCE), which was set up earlier last year to suggest reforms in the examination processes conducted by the National Testing Agency, has recommended reformation of the National Common Entrance Testing including strengthening of NTA, the Centre has recently told the Supreme Court that it would be implementing all the corrective measures suggested by its seven-member expert panel on exam reforms after reviewing the National Testing Agency's functioning in holding NEET UG.
As per PTI report, on Thursday, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, apprised a bench comprising justices PS Narasimha and Manoj Misra that the Centre-appointed committee has filed its report and the government will be implementing all the recommendations.
“We are going to implement all the recommendations and it (matter) can be listed after six months,” the law officer said.
“The matter is adjourned for three months. List this special leave petition in the month of April,” the bench said.
Consequently, the remit of the Committee was further expanded by the Supreme Court, which had earlier issued several directions to the Expert Committee on examination security and administration, data security and technological enhancements, policy and stakeholder engagement, collaboration and international cooperation, support, and training, etc.
