The parliamentary committee is set to examine the implementation of reforms within the National Testing Agency, alongside an investigation into the alleged NEET-UG 2026 exam paper leak. The committee, chaired by Congress leader Digvijaya Singh, has called Education Ministry officials for detailed discussions.
Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan announced a re-examination for NEET-UG slated for June 21 after the exam on May 3 faced cancellation due to irregularities. The planned shift to computer-based testing aims to address systemic issues. The review further involves the role of artificial intelligence in education and strategies to boost student employability.
Additionally, stakeholders from various educational institutions, including Anthropic India and IITs, have been summoned to contribute insights. Separate discussions will address minority educational institution challenges. The committee will also review reports related to teacher education under the National Education Policy 2020.
