Experts have raised concerns over the alleged use of artificial intelligence in drafting questions for the UGC NET examination, questioning the reliability and quality of the process. The National Testing Agency (NTA), however, has denied the allegations.
Experts question use of AI
The controversy centres on claims that AI tools were used in preparing examination questions without adequate human oversight.
Experts have reportedly expressed concern that relying heavily on AI for question drafting could result in poorly framed questions, factual inconsistencies or ambiguity if the content is not thoroughly reviewed by subject specialists.
The concerns have gained attention as competitive examinations such as UGC NET play an important role in determining eligibility for teaching and research opportunities.
NTA rejects allegations
The NTA has denied the claims of reckless AI use in the preparation of UGC NET questions.
The agency’s response comes amid growing scrutiny over the processes followed in preparing and reviewing examination papers.
The controversy has also renewed the broader debate over the role of AI in high-stakes examinations. While artificial intelligence can assist in generating and processing large volumes of content, experts have stressed the importance of human review, particularly when questions are used to assess candidates in national-level examinations.
The dispute is likely to keep attention focused on transparency, quality control and accountability in the examination process.
