The committee, headed by Koppillil Radhakrishnan, former Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman and current Chairman of the Board of Governors at IIT Kanpur, aims to reform the examination process and improve data security protocols within the National Testing Agency (NTA).

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan spoke out today, June 16, 2024, addressing the ongoing controversy surrounding the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET). He reiterated the government's unwavering commitment to transparency and accountability in the education system.

"There is no scope for any malpractice or irregularities in the conduct of any exam. We will not tolerate that. The accountability of the National Testing Agency (NTA) will also be fixed if lapses are found," Pradhan said in response to a question.

On Thursday, the Centre informed the Supreme Court that the decision to award grace marks to 1,563 NEET-UG 2024 candidates for admission to MBBS, BDS, and other courses has been rescinded.

Dharmendra Pradhan oversaw implementation of the ambitious new National Education Policy (NEP) in his previous tenure as the education and skill development minister.

Posting a video clip of the woman narrating her ordeal on his X handle, Pradhan said this is another proof of women safety and BJD’s respect for women.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended his congratulations to all the successful candidates of the UPSC Civil Services Examination 2023, emphasizing the pivotal role they will play in shaping India's future.

The Bharatiya Janata party has revealed its 5th list of candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, with many current and former ministers named as candidates once again among some new faces.

The Centre has raised serious concerns regarding the failure of five states to sign Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with the Ministry of Education for the implementation of the PM SHRI schools initiative.

One of the objectives of the new National Education Policy (NEP), unveiled in 2020, is to reduce the academic stress on students, Pradhan said on Monday after launching the PM SHRI (Prime Minister Schools for Rising India) scheme in Chhattisgarh under which 211 schools of the state will be upgraded.
