The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) is set to transition from a single-session pen-and-paper format to a multi-session computer-based testing (CBT) system. This change is motivated by ongoing issues such as paper leaks and operational failures. However, the shift raises significant concerns about score normalisation, which is necessary to fairly compare candidates across different sessions with varying question difficulties. Unlike the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), where the impact of normalisation is limited due to a larger number of available engineering seats, NEET's competitive nature—with over 20 lakh candidates vying for a few hundred medical seats—means that even minor adjustments in normalised scores can drastically affect rankings and admissions. This could lead to distrust among candidates, particularly as NEET relies heavily on percentile rankings that may not be independently verifiable. Experts suggest that for NEET-CBT to be effective, it must incorporate transparency measures, including disclosing both raw and normalised scores, to build trust in the examination process. The need for an open debate on alternative models before implementation is also emphasized.
