Pertinently, the National Testing Agency (NTA) which is an autonomous body under Department of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education of India, has faced widespread public backlash and parliamentary scrutiny due to recurring paper leaks, severe technical glitches, and evaluation irregularities in high-stakes national exams which lately gave a huge dent to its credibility, even as the government came out with immediate measure to overhaul its functioning and accountability.
