ABVP Files Detailed Exam‑Reform Plan With Nilekani Task Force
The student group says its mix of two‑stage testing, twice‑yearly NEET and security measures aims to cut single‑test pressure and restore trust in national entrance exams.
Overview
- The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad submitted a comprehensive package of reforms to the Nandan Nilekani‑led task force on Monday that proposes a two‑stage model for major competitive exams.
- ABVP asked the task force to explore holding NEET twice a year and using the better score for admissions to reduce reliance on one high‑stakes test.
- The submission details operational fixes including more computer‑based tests, stronger question‑paper security, uniform centre standards, robust candidate ID checks and clear rules for re‑exams after technical failures.
- It also recommends system changes such as independent security audits, a national question bank, digital evaluation, an integrated exam management system and a central dashboard, but says pilots and feasibility studies are needed before rollout.
- ABVP says its proposals came from multi‑city student and expert consultations and that it is ready to present practical implementation models while the task force and government agencies carry out further assessment.
