NTA's accountability crisis - EDITORIAL - EDITORIAL | Kerala Kaumudi Online
The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test crisis has reached a definitive boiling point. With a compromised question paper forcing a total examination cancellation, a suddenly rescheduled test date, and nationwide agitations by opposition student wings, the crisis is absolute. Yet, the leadership of the National Testing Agency remains obstinately detached from reality. Their refusal to explicitly acknowledge the paper leak suggests an administrative leadership living in an absolute dream world, willfully turning a blind eye to institutional failure.
Testifying before a Parliamentary Committee, NTA Chairman Pradeep Kumar Joshi and Director General Abhishek Singh conceded to procedural lapses but adamantly denied that a systemic leak had taken place.

They claim that teachers assigned to translate the paper into Marathi merely memorised and disclosed the questions, arguing that a leak cannot be officially declared until verified by the Central Bureau of Investigation. This head-in-the-sand attitude from the helm of India’s premier testing bod…
