NTA may allot exam centres based on Aadhaar to curb malpractices

This is aimed at transparency and is a response to criticism about the far-flung centres allocated for many students during the exams held in 2025.

Aadhaar-address-based centre allotment will be followed, and candidates can no longer choose any test centre they prefer, according to reliable information. The move is aimed at improving transparency and eliminating the possibility of any malpractice. There were multiple complaints, particularly from students in remote rural areas, about the vast distance they had to travel to take their exams.
