Do not brand us 'mafia', minimise outsourcing by NTA: Coaching Federation of India to Centre
India TV NewsMinimising the outsourcing of exam-related tasks by the NTA, setting up an education task force and a helpline to report irregularities and conducting competitive exams at least twice a year and only after board exams are among several suggestions made to the Centre by the Coaching Federation of India. The suggestions by the CFI, an umbrella body of coaching institutions across the country, came amid a raging row over alleged irregularities, including paper leaks, in exams. The federation, in its list of suggestions to prevent paper leaks, also expressed its displeasure at branding the coaching industry as "mafia for any wrong done by a few". In the line of fire over the alleged irregularities in medical entrance examination NEET and PhD entrance NET, the Centre last week removed NTA DG Subodh Singh and notified a high-level panel headed by former ISRO chief R Radhakrishnan to ensure a transparent, smooth and fair conduct of examinations through the NTA.
