Dr K Radhakrishnan’s panel, formed after the 2024 NEET leak, spent 23 full days hearing from students, parents, and experts. They collected over 37,000 public inputs and dropped a 101-point blueprint to rebuild the National Testing Agency (NTA) from the ground up. Their big idea? Kill physical paper transport; replace it with encrypted digital delivery to exam centers. Imagine: no more trucks carrying question papers across states, no more middlemen with access. Just secure servers printing papers on-site, minutes before the exam. They also proposed DIGI-EXAM; think Digi Yatra for tests; using Aadhaar, biometrics, and AI to verify students not just on exam day, but across every stage. The panel didn’t stop at tech. They called for 1,000 secure government-run exam centers, mobile testing buses for remote areas, and even mental health support inside NTA. Yet, despite the depth, the report seems to have gathered dust. Now, with Nilekani’s team stepping in, we’re left wondering; was the earlier plan too ambitious? Or just too ignored? The fix for India’s exam chaos might’ve already been written.
