The National Testing Agency (NTA) is strengthening security measures following the earlier NEET-UG question paper leak, including assigning CISF personnel to guard its premises and focus on “confidential” examination areas. The reported steps include tighter monitoring and additional safeguards intended to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information.
According to multiple outlets, the response builds on the fallout from the NEET-UG leak earlier this year, which triggered nationwide student protests. The incident also led to political repercussions, including the resignation of then Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, as cited by the sources.
In detailing the operational changes, one report says a team of CISF personnel has been assigned for oversight at a new NTA office and that the agency is revisiting its examination-cycle systems, with cybersecurity upgrades and independent audits planned. The coverage broadly aligns on the goal of improving examination integrity, while differing in emphasis between physical security steps and technical or procedural reviews.
