The controversy surrounding the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak has once again raised serious concerns about the functioning of the National Testing Agency (NTA), with several recommendations made by the K Radhakrishnan Committee after the NEET-UG 2024 crisis still awaiting implementation.Following widespread outrage over the 2024 examination irregularities, the Centre had constituted a high-level committee headed by former ISRO chief K Radhakrishnan to recommend reforms in the conduct of national entrance examinations. The panel proposed sweeping changes aimed at improving transparency, security and credibility within the system.
Among the most significant recommendations was the introduction of a multistage authentication system using biometrics and artificial intelligence to strengthen candidate verification and prevent impersonation.
