Parliamentary panel weighs pen-and-paper vs computer-based tests

In developments reported on June 2, 2026, published accounts tied the story to wider national and sector coverage. Parliament’s education standing committee met in early June 2026 to discuss pen-and-paper versus computer-based national examinations after the NEET controversy.

Related briefings added that NTA officials said the June 21, 2026 NEET-UG re-examination will be held in pen-and-paper format. NTA told the panel it plans to transition NEET to computer-based testing from 2027.

Subsequent updates explained that education ministry officials argued CBT offers stronger safeguards and faster processing than pen-and-paper tests.

Officials said further steps would follow as reviews continue.
