Will implement recommendations of expert panel on NEET-UG exam: Centre to SC
Hindustan TimesThe Centre on Thursday 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 last year. It had also expanded the remit of the seven-member expert panel, headed by former Indian Space Research Organisation chief K Radhakrishnan, to review the functioning of the National Testing Agency and recommend exam reforms to make the NEET-UG, transparent and free from malpractices. On October 21 last year, the top court had extended the time granted to the Centre-appointed seven-member expert panel to file its report on exam reforms. While expanding the scope of the expert panel, the top court had flagged multiple lapses on the part of NTA like the security breach at an examination centre in Jharkhand's Hazaribagh where the rear door of the strongroom was opened and unauthorised people were permitted to access question papers, transportation of question papers by e-rickshaws and distribution of wrong set of question papers among the candidates.
