Sources: 4. Developments: 2. India is considering significant structural reforms for its national entrance examinations, specifically targeting the CUET UG and NEET UG processes. For the CUET UG, an Examination Reform Committee has proposed a ‘one student, one day’ model for 2027. This plan aims to reduce student travel time and expenses by allowing candidates to complete all selected subjects in a single sitting. Proposed adjustments include shortening paper durations, potentially reducing the subject limit from five to four, and implementing a new grouping system for common subject combinations. Regarding the NEET UG, a parliamentary committee has recommended transitioning from a single-stage model to a two-stage process. This would involve a common preliminary screening followed by specialized examinations for disciplines such as MBBS, BDS, nursing, and AYUSH. To enhance security and prevent paper leaks, the committee suggested creating expansive question repositories and involving experts from institutions like IITs, AIIMS, and IIMs. Additionally, the panel urged the establishment of a statutory framework to ensure the National Testing Agency (NTA) remains directly accountable to Parliament. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-11: Parliamentary panel proposes two-stage NEET UG exam format An Indian parliamentary panel has proposed a two-stage format for NEET UG exams, featuring a common prelims and course-specific mains to reduce competition and improve accountability. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/parliamentary-panel-proposes-two-stage-neet-ug-exam-format ### 2026-10-07: CUET UG 2027: Proposed reforms include one-day exam pattern Proposed reforms for CUET UG 2027 aim to implement a ‘one student, one day’ exam pattern, potentially shortening paper durations and grouping subjects to reduce student travel and exam complexity. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cuet-ug-2027-proposed-reforms-include-one-day-exam-pattern --- Cite as: Indian national entrance examination reforms.
