Exclusive: 'Question Paper Setters Are The Root Of Trust': IIT Madras Director On Paper Leaks

The biggest challenge in preventing examination paper leaks is not technology but ensuring the integrity of question paper setters and invigilators, IIT Madras Director V. Kamakoti, a member of the Prime Minister's newly constituted High Power Task Force on National Testing Agency (NTA) reforms, told NDTV in an exclusive conversation. Speaking to NDTV, Kamakoti said the panel's recommendations would focus on making examinations "leak-proof and transparent", but stressed that every examination system ultimately depends on what he described as the "root of trust"—the people entrusted with preparing question papers.
