The seven-member committee of experts has suggested that the Centre should collaborate with state governments to conduct these exams, mirroring the election process in which the entire state administrative machinery, down to the district collector, is roped in. These high-stakes tests should be conducted with the assistance of states, the panel has said in its suggestions submitted to the ministry of education in October and made public on Tuesday.
