Extract from the article:
The Union Education Minister, Dharmendra
Pradhan, has announced that the National Testing Agency (NTA) will now focus
solely on conducting entrance exams and not job tests.
This decision comes as a part of NTA's effort
to address diverse requests and enhance the security and accuracy of
examination processes.
By shifting its
mandate towards entrance exams, NTA aims to uphold the integrity of
exams and improve the overall testing experience for candidates.

My Take:
A. Hastening
Slowly: But in the Right Direction
"Looking back at my blog post from 2020,
where I discussed the establishment of the National Recruitment Agency (NRA), I
can't help but draw parallels to the current shift in focus by the National
Testing Agency (NTA) to hold only entrance exams.
The idea of streamlining recruitment processes
through a common eligibility test (CET), as proposed by the NRA, seems to
resonate with the current direction NTA is taking. Both initiatives aim to
simplify the testing landscape and make it more accessible for candidates
across the country."

Vadis
"In my blog post from 2012, I emphasized the importance of
maintaining the integrity of tests like the AMCAT Test amid
job market uncertainties.
Now, as we witness NTA's decision to focus
solely on entrance exams, it underlines the criticality of ensuring the
security and reliability of assessment processes, especially when stakes are
high for job seekers. The evolving dynamics of recruitment highlight the
constant need for robust examination practices to support fair selection
procedures."

Call to Action:
To the Union Education Minister, Dharmendra
Pradhan: I urge you to continue prioritizing transparency and fairness in the
examination system. Embracing technological advancements and best practices in
assessment will not only enhance the credibility of entrance exams but also
empower aspiring candidates with equitable opportunities. Let's work towards a
system that fosters meritocracy and accessibility for all.
