Neet paper leak: Centre working on national CBT infra for entrance exams

The Ministry of Education is working on a national examination-grade Computer-Based Testing (CBT) infrastructure strategy to ensure a seamless transition for the pen-and-paper-based entrance exam NEET to online mode, officials said. Following the NEET paper leak earlier this year, the Centre announced that the medical entrance exam will be conducted in CBT mode from next year. Officials, aware of the development, said that while the plan is under active consideration, they will make a final decision only after receiving the report from the Nandan Nilekani-led task force set up to overhaul India's public examination systems. While NEET has been conducted in pen-and-paper mode so far, the National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts several other exams, including the engineering entrance JEE-Main, the Common University Entrance Test (CUET)-UG and PG, and UGC-NET and CSIR UGC-NET, as computer-based tests. Once the infra strategy is in place, the plan is to move all entrance exams online. "A
