The National Testing Agency (NTA) has undertaken a major restructuring by dismissing 600 experts involved in examination preparation. This decision follows the discovery of errors in recent assessments, prompting a thorough review of processes.
To strengthen the quality and reliability of exams, NTA has implemented a new four-tier system for scrutiny of question papers. This multi-level review aims to ensure accuracy and uphold examination standards.
In addition to staff changes, the agency has recruited specialized personnel and relocated its offices to support this transformation. Enhanced security measures have been enforced along with a comprehensive audit process to prevent future lapses.
These steps are designed to restore confidence in the agency's conduct of national-level examinations and improve overall operational integrity.
