- 

Amid ongoing controversies over alleged irregularities in competitive exams NEET and NET, officials on Tuesday announced that the Education Ministry’s panel on exam reforms will actively engage with parents and students to address their concerns and challenges regarding the examination process.

The seven-member panel, led by former ISRO chief R Radhakrishnan, convened for the first time on Monday evening.

“Our top priority is to gather feedback from students and parents across the country. We plan to engage with them in person or through electronic media over the next two weeks and consolidate their inputs,” Radhakrishnan told reporters on Tuesday.

“We aim to quickly establish a robust testing system. Our goal is to develop a secure, error-free system that reduces student stress and incorporates sufficient flexibility,” he added.
