New Delhi. After the paper leak of NEET UG 2026 exam, the National Testing Agency i.e. NTA is facing a lot of trouble. The reason is that NTA’s NEET exam paper has been leaked earlier also. Now NTA is considering adopting a new method to prevent incidents of paper leaks. According to The Indian Express newspaper, a new proposal has come to NTA. By adopting which, incidents of paper leaks can be effectively stopped.

According to the newspaper report, there is a proposal before NTA to prepare a central question bank for the examinations. Once the Central Question Bank is prepared, the experts preparing the questions will not know whether the questions given by them will appear in NEET or other examinations or not. No single person will have access to the question paper. This is being called zero trust architecture. Once the Central Question Bank is ready, the work of paper setting will be done technically instead of manually. This will eliminate the possibility of paper leakage. A central question bank will be prepared by taking questions from different subjects from leading experts across the country.

According to the newspaper report, when NTA conducts any examination, different questions will be taken from this central question bank through computer and software and the paper will be prepared. Due to this, it will be difficult to find out at any one level what questions are going to come in the NTA exam. This will increase the confidentiality of the question paper of the examination. Also, if the candidates have read the syllabus properly, then they will not have to face any problem. At present, NTA has decided that from next year the NEET UG examination will be online only. If the Central Question Bank is also prepared before this, then incidents of paper leaks will be stopped. CBI is investigating the NEET UG 2026 paper leak case. In which 13 people including many professors have been arrested.
