Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday announced a high-level committee headed by Additional Chief Secretary of the General Administration Department V. Radha to recommend comprehensive reforms in recruitment examinations for government services. The move follows the Teacher Eligibility Test paper leak in Bhiwandi and protests over alleged NEET paper leaks. The committee will visit each revenue division to consult students, educational institutions and other stakeholders. Fadnavis also directed officials to implement the Central government's stricter Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Act within a fortnight and establish at least 25,000 secured classrooms across the state for conducting competitive exams.
