Rohit Thakur, the education minister of Himachal Pradesh, has proposed that national-level examinations, particularly the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), should transition to a fully computer-based testing system. This recommendation follows the cancellation of the NEET-UG 2026 exam due to allegations of a question paper leak, which has been rescheduled for June 21. Thakur described the recent incidents of paper leaks as 'very unfortunate' and stressed the need for stricter safeguards and technology-driven systems to restore student confidence. He noted that Himachal Pradesh has already adopted computer-based testing for various recruitment exams in the education sector, which has enhanced transparency and reduced unfair practices. Furthermore, Thakur celebrated the state's significant improvement in the Performance Grading Index (PGI), moving from 21st to 3rd place among states, attributing this success to educational reforms such as teacher training and the filling of vacant positions. Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu also praised the government's focus on quality education, contrasting it with the previous administration's approach.
