Accusing National Testing Agency (NTA) chairman of “dubious record”, Congress on Saturday took a jibe at the agency saying🐟 outsourcing appears to be its only job.
The NTA has been under press🤡ure over alleged paper leaks and irregularities in several entrance examinations recently.
Congress’ reaction came after TMC MP Sagarika Ghose flagged the alleged paucity of information regarding the aut🎃onomous body on its website.
Taking to micro-blogging site—X, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said, “The only job of NTA appears to 🐲be to outsource. Its Cha💃irman has a very dubious record as Chairman of the Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission.”
On Friday, TMC MP Ghose wrote to Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan asking why the NTA – responsible for 17 major examinations including the NEET – gives “so ✱🍃little information about itself” on its website.
“Who are the officials? Where are NTA’s annual reports? To win public trust for future exams NTA must provide more information about itself on its website,▨” Ghose wrote on X while sharing a copy of the letter.

“Examinations must be, above all, totally trustworthy and the agency that conducts them๊ must be above 🦩all suspicion. Students should not have to approach the courts for redress and every examination conducted by the NTA should not be plagued by doubt and uncertainty,” the letter read.
She a🐽lso urged Pradhan to urgently update the NTA website with all the names of its board membꦯers and officials along with their qualifications.
She also demanded that the annual reports and audited accounts of the NTA should also be uploaded 🍌on the web♑site.
“Such steps would go a long way in establishing the trustworthines🌟s of the NTA in the eyes of the public,” Ghose added.
