Government Informs SC of Considering Computer-Based NEET Post-Nilekani Report

Summary

The government has informed the Supreme Court that it is considering shifting the NEET exam to a computer-based format, pending a report from the Nandan Nilekani task force on public examination systems. This move aims to enhance exam security, as the National Testing Agency has already transitioned seven other major exams to computer-based formats, leaving NEET (UG) as its only major pen-and-paper examination.
