PRADHAN URGES STATES TO SUPPORT EXAM REFORMS FOR ZERO-ERROR ENTRANCE TEST

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of an event, Pradhan shared that the primary goal is to strengthen the National Testing Agency (NTA) and address loopholes ahead of the new entrance exam cycle starting in January 2025.

The Radhakrishnan Committee, the 7-member panel, established following a recent NEET paper leak, submitted its report to the Supreme Court last month.

The report recommends online entrance exams wherever feasible and suggests a hybrid model.

"I have appealed to all state government education secretaries. A new entrance exam series for the upcoming year will begin in January. Based on last year's experiences, the government has introduced numerous reforms," Pradhan said, noting the Supreme Court aligned with the Radhakrishnan Committee's recommendations on revamping the NTA.
