NEET 2027 to Be Held in Computer Based Test Mode: Education Min Dharmendra Pradhan
- Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan announced Friday that the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test Undergraduate will shift to computer-based test mode starting next year, aiming to strengthen security and reduce leakage risks.
- The Union Education Ministry cancelled the May 3 examination after discovering 120 of 410 questions appeared in a 'guess paper' circulated before the test, with authorities verifying the compromise within three to four days.
- Pradhan asserted a 'zero tolerance' policy against malpractice, handing the leak case to the Central Bureau of Investigation to investigate how the breach occurred despite implementing the Radhakrishnan committee's recommendations.
- The National Testing Agency scheduled the re-examination for June 21; candidates will receive 15 minutes extra, choose their exam centre, and face no application fees.
- While CBT mode allows for multiple shifts and faster digital result evaluation, the format remains vulnerable to software issues and online hacks compared to traditional pen-and-paper methods.
