Harsh Goenka wants India to study China's Gaokao for NEET. Here's how tough the Chinese exam really is

Industrialist Harsh Goenka has urged India to take cues from China's highly secure Gaokao college entrance examination while strengthening the conduct of NEET and JEE.

In a post on X, Goenka highlighted the extensive security measures used during China's national college entrance exam, writing: "How China protects the Gaokao – its college entrance exams (13M+ students):

Papers printed in ultra-secure facilities under 24/7 surveillance

Armoured, GPS-tracked transport

Facial recognition & biometric verification

AI cameras, drones & signal jammers to stop cheating

Cities reduce traffic, halt construction & reroute flights to ensure silence

It would be a good idea for our new Education Minister @JoshiPralhad to study this model for our NEET/JEE exams. We have to treat our national exams as national security events and secure the chain end-to-end with biometric access, AI surveillance, live tracking, and airtight accountability."
