Nilekani Committee Launches Public Consultation to Reform Indian National Examinations

Nilekani committee seeks public ideas to fix exams

The panel, headed by Infosys co-founder and technology expert Nandan Nilekani, was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi last month amid heightened scrutiny of the examination system following NEET-UG paper leak controversy and youth protests over alleged lapses in the test’s conduct. It will also look at measures to improve accessibility and inclusion, while factoring in student well-being during the examination process.
