The National Testing Agency (NTA) has launched ‘Pariksha Karmayogi: Capacity-Building Programme for Examination Officials’ on the iGOT Karmayogi Bharat platform to strengthen supervision and invigilation for examinations conducted by the agency.The course is intended for exam functionaries, particularly centre superintendents and invigilators who are involved in the conduct of NTA exams, including NEET (UG). The development comes following the recent NEET(UG) paper leak case.The programme has been designed to strengthen the capacity of examination functionaries and to ensure secure and standardised conduct of offline, pen-and-paper-based examinations.The programme comprises four modules that covers important spheres of conducting the examination, including the role of exam functionaries in maintaining fairness, transparency and integrity. One of the modules covers security arrangements and adherence to standard operating procedures (SOPs). Another module addresses exam-day operations and the last one provides a Quick Reference Guide, offering a concise recap of key instructions and responsibilities.Hosted on the iGOT Karmayogi Bharat platform, the course enables standardised, self-paced learning and assessment-based certification for examination personnel across the country. The initiative aims to enhance procedural compliance, operational efficiency and accountability at exam centres. “Well-trained examination personnel are critical to the smooth and fair conduct of large-scale national examinations,” the agency said.
