A high-powered task force set up by the Centre amid student protests over alleged paper leaks has invited public suggestions on sweeping reforms to India’s public examination system, including measures to strengthen accountability and institutional mechanisms.
The six-member High-Powered Task Force (HPTF), chaired by Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani, was constituted by the government in July to examine and recommend reforms covering the conduct, security, design and governance of public examinations, particularly those conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
