Nilekani wants to use AI to stop exam paper leaks
Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani has called for a significant overhaul of India's examination system and suggested utilizing artificial intelligence to generate question papers the day of the test. This move aims to eliminate the risk of fraud and leaks associated with exam papers, which serve as an economic incentive for their sale.
Speaking at the Bloomberg Economic Forum in New Delhi, Nilekani proposed creating a vast repository of questions, from which the day's paper could be randomly generated, thereby removing the incentive for selling question papers. Nilekani's suggestion comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi enlisted his help to address issues within India's examination system, following the resignation of the Education Minister due to a NEET-UG question paper leak sparked by Gen-Z led protests.
Nilekani emphasized the need to shift towards a nationwide Computer-Based Testing model, highlighting the necessity of expanding the network of testing locations, currently numbering at 150,000.
