Ahead of releasing its detailed judgment in the NEET UG matter, the Supreme Court on Friday expanded the mandate of the committee initially formed by the Centre to address issues surrounding the exam.
The court broadened the committee's responsibilities to include a thorough review of the National Testing Agency's (NTA) administrative processes, in addition to ensuring exam security.
This move is aimed at identifying and rectifying structural flaws within the examination system.
Formulating a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for registration, center changes, and other exam-related conduct.
Reviewing the process for changing exam centers.
Recommending stricter procedures for verifying candidates' identities.
Assessing the viability of installing CCTV cameras at all exam centers.
Reviewing and suggesting mechanisms for tamper-proof question papers.
Conducting regular audits and inspections of exam centers.
Ensuring the digital footprint of exam materials to detect instances of breaches.
Performing regular audits of security measures.
Exploring technological innovations to enhance security.
Improving communication mechanisms for the exam process.
Addressing the socio-economic handicaps faced by candidates.
Given the committee's expanded scope, the Supreme Court has set a deadline for the report to be submitted by September 30, 2024. Following this, the Ministry of Education will begin implementing the committee's recommendations and will submit a subsequent report to the court.
This comprehensive approach is expected to strengthen the integrity of the NEET UG exam process and address the various concerns raised regarding the examination's conduct.
