New Delhi: New Delhi: Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Thursday said the government will set up a high-level committee for reforms in the National Testing Agency (NTA). This committee will be expected to make recommendations to further improve NTA, its structure, functioning, examination process, transparency and data security protocols to conduct zero-error exams.
Briefing the media here, Pradhan said, "I urged all persons not to believe rumours and don't politicise this issue. The government is committed to conducting error-free exams."
Responding to allegations of irregularities in the NEET UG exam in Bihar, Pradhan said, "The Patna police are investigating the matter in depth. Once the probe gets over, they will send a detailed report to the Central government."
He assured that the transparency of exams will not be compromised and government will not tolerate any irregularity.
"In the primary facie, some irregularities have been found in some limited specific regions. The investigation is going on once we get the final concrete report regarding this. Those who are found guilty in the NEET exam will face stringent action, be it NTA or any senior person in NTA," the Education Minister asserted.
