Amid operational overhaul, NTA shifts office to Minto Road in New Delhi

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has moved its office from the Okhla Industrial Estate to Minto Road, located in central New Delhi. The move comes amid the overhaul of the testing agency’s operations, aimed at reforming the conduct of national-level exams such as NEET, JEE and CUET.

Recently, in August, the Union education minister Pralhad Joshi directed an overhaul of the NTA operations, its security systems, and an audit of all exam processes. This comes in the wake of allegations over the NEET paper leak and mismanagement in the conduct of the national-level examinations.

Moreover, NTA also removed around 600 experts and made an announcement to onboard 20-25 officials as part of the process.
