The National Testing Agency (NTA), approved by the Union Cabinet in 2017, is registered as what kind of body?

A society, under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. NTA is a society registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. No Act of Parliament created it, so it is not a statutory body. Article 324 deals with the Election Commission, not NTA.

Consider the following statements about the National Testing Agency (NTA): 1. The Union Cabinet approved its creation in November 2017. 2. It is a statutory body created by an Act of Parliament. 3. It conducts NEET-UG, JEE (Main), CUET and UGC-NET. Which of the statements given above are correct?

1 and 3 only. Statement 1 is correct: the Cabinet approved NTA on 10 November 2017. Statement 2 is wrong: NTA is a society under the 1860 Act, not a creation of Parliament. Statement 3 is correct: these are among the entrance and eligibility tests NTA runs.

Match List-I with List-II for the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024, as originally enacted (before the 2026 amendment). List-I A. Individual offender B. Service provider C. Organised exam crime List-II 1. Jail of 3 to 5 years and fine up to ₹10 lakh 2. Fine up to ₹1 crore and a 4-year ban from conducting public exams 3. Jail of 5 to 10 years and fine of not less than ₹1 crore

A-1, B-2, C-3. The 2024 Act, as first passed, set 3 to 5 years and up to ₹10 lakh for an individual offender. A service provider faced a fine up to ₹1 crore and a 4-year ban. Organised crime drew 5 to 10 years and a fine of not less than ₹1 crore. The 2026 amendment later raised these penalties.

Consider the following statements about the Supreme Court's 2024 ruling on NEET-UG: 1. The Court found that the paper had leaked at Hazaribagh and Patna. 2. It ordered a re-test of the entire exam. 3. It said a re-test of the whole exam is not warranted when the breach is not systemic and the cheaters can be separated from honest candidates. Which of the statements given above are correct?

1 and 3 only. The Court accepted that the leak took place at Hazaribagh and Patna. It refused a re-test of the whole exam, because the breach was not shown to be systemic and those who gained could be identified. So statement 2 is wrong.

Consider the following statements about the High-Level Committee chaired by K. Radhakrishnan: 1. It was set up in June 2024 by the Department of Higher Education. 2. It advised that NTA should primarily conduct entrance examinations. 3. It is a statutory committee created under the Public Examinations Act, 2024. Which of the statements given above are correct?

1 and 2 only. The ministry set up the committee on 22 June 2024, and it advised NTA to focus primarily on entrance exams. The decision that NTA would run no recruitment exams from 2025 was the Ministry's own. The committee was not created under the 2024 Act, so statement 3 is wrong.

Match the body in List-I with its role in List-II. List-I A. Radhakrishnan Committee (2024) B. Special Task Force under the 2026 amendment C. Nilekani High Powered Task Force (2026) List-II 1. Reviews how public exams are run, secured, designed and governed 2. Probes cases of exam fraud 3. Expert panel on the working of NTA

A-3, B-2, C-1. The Radhakrishnan Committee reviewed the working of NTA in 2024. The Special Task Force is a probe team for exam-fraud cases. The Nilekani task force of July 2026 looks at the whole public-exam system.
