SC Directs NTA to Reform NEET Question Paper Transport
The Supreme Court of India has told the National Testing Agency (NTA) to come up with a better way to handle NEET question papers.
They want the NTA to explain how they will make sure the papers don't get leaked.
One idea is to send the papers digitally and print them locally just before the exam.
This would mean less physical handling and less chance of leaks.
The NTA has to explain their plan by August 3.
The Supreme Court directed the NTA to file an affidavit by August 3.
The court asked for a fool-proof mechanism for transporting question papers.
The Radhakrishnan Committee recommended a hybrid model for digital transmission.
The hybrid model involves encrypted links and local printing 30-60 minutes before the exam.
The goal is to reduce the risk of question paper leaks.
