NEET-UG to shift to computer-based format from next year, NTA tells SC

The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Friday told the Supreme Court that it is prepared to conduct the NEET-UG examination in computer-based test (CBT) mode from next year after consultations with the Centre.

The submission was made before a bench of Justices PS Narasimha and Alok Aradhe, which is hearing a batch of petitions related to the alleged NEET-UG paper leak that led to the cancellation of the May 3 examination this year.

In an affidavit filed before the apex court, the NTA said a high-level committee of experts (HLCE) had recommended transitioning NEET-UG to the CBT mode.
