JEE, NEET tests set for major overhaul from next year

Competitive tests such as JEE main, NEET-UG and UGC NET are set for a major overhaul from next year. The changes include having a unique set of questions for each candidate, which will prevent cheating. A software will pick questions at random, and multiple dates for taking an exam. The overhaul is being driven by the new National Testing Agency (NTA), which will conduct its first exam in December 2018 — the University Grants Commission's National Eligibility Test. NTA plans to rely heavily on technological tools like artificial intelligence, psychometric analysis and computer-based adaptive testing. The tests will be 100% safe -- The highest level of encryption will be used so that no one can hack into the system.
