‘Build new NTA’: Agency looks to fill nine senior posts to restore trust after NEET paper leak backlash

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced plans to fill nine senior positions to create a 'New NTA' and rebuild trust following criticism over the handling of the NEET-UG 2026 exam, which had to be re-conducted after a paper leak. The agency issued a vacancy notice in July, seeking experienced candidates for roles including joint directors and research scientists. This follows a previous recruitment drive in May aimed at modernizing the organization. Over 2 million students took part in the re-exam on June 21, while the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) continues its probe into the leak, having arrested 13 individuals.
