Experts are included in this panel after several levels of scrutiny and verification. Professionals are appointed to the panel of experts for three years.

The question bank system is being changed to stop leakages
During the investigation into the NEET UG 2026 paper leak, it has been revealed that the expert who set the paper leaked the questions by memorizing them. Keeping this in mind NTA is changing the Open Question Bank system. Under this change, NTA is going to create a huge question bank, which will have so many questions that it will be challenging for experts to memorize them.
