The National Testing Agency has rolled out a series of major reforms in recent weeks to strengthen its leadership structure, institutional capacity and oversight mechanisms, following recommendations made by the Centre-appointed High-Level Expert Committee on examination reforms.
The measures are aimed at improving the integrity, transparency and operational efficiency of high-stakes examinations conducted by the agency, which collectively cater to over a crore candidates every year.
The government acknowledged the concerns and anxiety caused among students, parents and the education community following recent controversies linked to competitive examinations. Officials said the ongoing reforms are part of a broader effort involving structural, technological and human-resource changes to rebuild confidence in the examination ecosystem.
Four Senior Officers Posted To NTA
To strengthen the agency’s top leadership with experienced administrators, the Centre has posted four senior officers to the NTA over the past few days.
The appointments include two Joint Secretary-level officers and two Director-level officers from the Government of India. According to the recommendations of the Radhakrishnan Committee, the Joint Secretary-rank officers will serve as Additional Director Generals in the agency.
Officials said the induction of experienced officers from central services and various ministries would significantly expand the NTA’s administrative capacity and support its growing mandate.
