Central plans uniform national test for university admissions
The New Education Policy is going to approach for a single test of subject-specific aptitude for admission to colleges and universities across the country. The test will be conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). Human Resource Development minister Ramesh Pokhriyal said that NERP-2020 is likely to suggest an aptitude test and tests in specific subjects that can be taken multiple times in a year. He also said analysis of over 2 lakh suggestions has been completed and the department will soon be ready with the final NEP draft.
”We are at the final stage of finalising the new policy. We set up an office in Bangalore to analyse suggestions for higher education, while for school education, a committee under CBSE team with the analysis,” said Pokhriyal.
