The National Testing Agency (NTA) removes around 600 experts from its team and announces a revamp of how question papers are prepared and checked. The agency also introduces a new four-tier system to evaluate question papers before they are used.
The Hindu and Times of India report broadly similar steps, including changes aimed at improving safeguards around the question-paper process. Alongside the personnel changes, the NTA says it is setting up additional verification checks, shifting operations to more secure premises, and inducting more senior officials into oversight roles. The outlets also note the scale of the staffing change, describing it as part of a broader restructuring.
While both reports focus on the same core measures—removal of hundreds of experts and replacement with enhanced quality and security controls—coverage differs in emphasis. Times of India highlights the implementation of four-tier checks, while The Hindu foregrounds the removal of experts and the accompanying institutional changes, including the onboarding of senior officials and tighter operational security.
