NTA exams: Parliament panel supports pen-and-paper mode, flags Rs 448 crore surplus in six years

A parliamentary panel has recommended a shift towards pen-and-paper entrance exams. This comes after the National Testing Agency faced significant issues with computer-based tests. Several key examinations in 2024 and early 2025 experienced disruptions, including postponements and paper leaks. The panel believes these failures have eroded student confidence in the NTA's examination process.
