In addition to this decision, the Cabinet addressed concerns regarding the conduct of the NEET examination. Following an investigation by Assam Police, which revealed that most NEET centres are located in private institutions, the Cabinet proposed measures to ensure fair examination procedures.
The government will request the National Testing Agency (NTA) to allocate NEET centres exclusively in government schools. Furthermore, the Cabinet has recommended that these examinations be conducted under the supervision of District Commissioners to enhance oversight.
The Chief Secretary has been directed to engage with the Director General of the NTA and the Secretary to the Ministry of Education, Government of India, to push for these changes.
