DIGI-EXAM system, policy to allot centres, transition to CBT: Centre's panel lists exam reforms
DIGI-EXAM system to check impersonation, multi-stage and multi-session testing, test centre allocation policy, setting up secured test centres in each district and mobile testing centres in rural and remote areas are among the recommendations made by the Centre's high-level panel on exam reforms. The report by the seven-member panel headed by former Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chief R Radhakrishnan was made public on Tuesday.
The panel noted that there was a strong case for transition from pen-and-paper based tests to Computer Based Test (CBT) as the preferred methodology while the challenges in reaching out to underserved areas could be network, test infrastructure and competent human resources.
The panel recommended the introduction of a DIGI-EXAM system on the lines of DIGI-YATRA to ensure that only the candidate writing the exam joined the intended programme.
«Essentially, multi-stage authentication of the candidate's identity is envisaged which makes use of Aadhar and biometrics and AI-based data analytics,» it said.
The panel noted that the National Testing Agency (NTA) outstretched itself to accommodate diverse requests from many test indenting agencies for handling end-to-end operations of tests.
