The National Testing Agency told the Supreme Court that NEET-UG will shift to computer-based testing from next year following this year’s paper leak controversy. The move follows recommendations by an expert panel led by former ISRO chief Dr K Radhakrishnan. NTA also plans multi-stage testing, stronger SOPs, AI-based translation tools and enhanced security measures for future exams.
New Delhi: The National Testing Agency on Friday told the Supreme Court that it is all set to conduct the NEET-UG exam in computer-based test (CBT) mode from next year instead of the pen and paper mode after consulting the Centre.
The National Testing Agency (NTA), responsible for conducting the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), made the statement before the apex court, which is hearing a batch of petitions related to the paper leak this year that led to the cancellation of the May 3 exam.
In an affidavit filed before a bench of Justices P S Narasimha and Alok Aradhe, the NTA said a high-level committee of experts (HLCE) has recommended transition of NEET-UG to CBT mode.
It said that among the major NTA examinations, only NEET (UG) 2026 was conducted in the pen and paper (PPT) mode, primarily according to the scheme of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the National Medical Commission.
