A parliamentary panel has summoned officials from the Union education ministry, Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), and National Testing Agency (NTA) for meetings on June 1 and 2 to discuss issues faced by students due to the on-screen marking (OSM) system in Class 12 board exams and the implementation of the three-language formula in Classes 9 and 10.
The 31-member Parliamentary Standing Committee on education, women, children, youth, and sports will review the ongoing investigation into the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak and implementation of the Radhakrishnan committee's recommendations.
According to the agenda, the committee will discuss the use of pen-and-paper testing versus computer-based testing (CBT), and views pertaining to NEET and NTA.
The panel has also called for a re-test for NEET-UG aspirants, considering limiting the number of attempts and introducing an upper age limit, along with a gradual transition to computer-based testing from next year.
The move comes amid complaints from students and parents over technical glitches in the CBSE post-result services portal and concerns regarding lower-than-expected marks under the new digital evaluation system.
