NTA Conducts 270+ Exams, Income Rises to ₹1,117 Crore

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has conducted over 270 exams since 2018, with more than 6.6 crore registrations.

The NTA has 39 permanent staff and relies on 73 contractual and 124 outsourced personnel.

The agency's income has more than doubled from ₹504.16 crore in 2019-20 to ₹1,116.84 crore in 2023-24.

The NTA conducted the NEET UG 2026 exam on May 3, 2026, and a re-exam on June 21, 2026, due to irregularities.

The government praises the NTA's efficiency, while critics question the reliance on contractual staff.
