Hindu Vocab On National Testing Agency Canceling NET Exam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cancellation of the UGC-NET examination on Wednesday, just a day after its supposed \u201csuccessful conduct\u201d by the National Testing Agency (NTA), is one more load of straw threatening<\/strong> (expressing\u00a0a\u00a0threat\u00a0of something\u00a0unpleasant\u00a0or\u00a0violent)<\/strong> to break the agency\u2019s creaking reputation. Coming as it did after irregularities in this year\u2019s NEET-UG (medicine), and complaints about the JEE (engineering), the NTA is under intense<\/strong> (extreme and forceful or (of a feeling) very strong<\/strong>) pressure. In some ways, the Education Ministry\u2019s actions are in stark contrast to its response to the ongoing NEET fiasco, and seem to indicate that it has learnt some lessons. It took suo motu action on the basis of the Home Ministry\u2019s cybercrime team\u2019s inputs, even without any formal complaints from candidates, unlike in the NEET case where it has dragged its feet through committees and court cases despite multiple allegations<\/strong> (a statement, made without giving proof, that someone has done something wrong or illegal<\/strong>) and police complaints of paper leaks. The Ministry immediately<\/strong> (now or without waiting or thinking<\/strong>) cancelled the UGC-NET and promised a fresh examination. It has asked the CBI to probe the case, while not heeding the persistent<\/strong> (lasting for a long time or difficult to get rid of<\/strong>) demand of NEET aspirants for a similar probe. However, for the over nine lakh UGC-NET candidates who studied for months, and then travelled long distances to their examination centres, some taking loans to cover their costs, this is little consolation<\/strong> (something that makes someone who is sad or disappointed feel better<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These young people deserve answers, and right now, most of the questions are still unanswered. For one, no one in the government\u2019s education establishment has explained why the NET was an offline exam conducted by the CBSE till 2018, when it was taken over by the NTA and became an online exam, only to revert this year to an offline, pen-and-paper exam, which is potentially<\/strong> (possibly<\/strong>) more vulnerable<\/strong> (able to be easily physically or mentally hurt, influenced, or attacked<\/strong>) to paper leaks. As the investigation is carried out, full transparency is key to any hopes that the NTA can regain trustworthiness in the eyes of candidates. The second is accountability<\/strong> (the fact of being responsible for what you do and able to give a satisfactory reason for it, or the degree to which this happens<\/strong>) and punishment of the guilty. The government would also do well to consider a rehaul of the NTA\u2019s systems and personnel to ensure that the technical glitches, cheating scams, paper leaks, and proxy candidates that have plagued the exams this year are not allowed to happen again. With the fate of lakhs of India\u2019s educated youth and youngest voters at stake, it is not surprising that the testing agency\u2019s woes have become a political hot potato. Some Opposition leaders have demanded that the NTA be dismantled and the responsibility for entrance examinations be handed over to the States instead. This may well curb the Union government\u2019s centralising tendencies leading to examinations of enormous<\/strong> (extremely large<\/strong>) scale that are harder to manage in a far-flung nation. However, some all-India examinations will always remain, and the need is for the States to join the Centre in recovering the integrity of the beleaguered examination system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
