Ahead of the NEET-UG 2024 examination, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has made it clear that there will be zero tolerance towards any form of malpractice. NTA has introduced enhanced security measures and administrative arrangements to ensure the integrity of the examination process. Candidates are advised to arrive at the examination centers on time to complete all pre-examination procedures. NTA has implemented multistage biometric authentication for both candidates and invigilation staff, as well as surprise visits by flying squads. The agency has also utilized AI tools to identify discrepancies in candidates’ application details. These measures are aimed at preventing any attempts to compromise the examination.
If a candidate is found committing impersonation for another applicant, both the impersonator and the applicant will face legal consequences, and the applicant will be debarred from participating in future exams. NTA has notified local law enforcement authorities to take necessary action against any instances of malpractice. The agency has already taken disciplinary action against certain individuals based on post-examination data analysis in the JEE (main) examination. NTA’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and fairness will be consistently applied to all future examinations under its purview.
