  "account": "The National Testing Agency (NTA) has opened a call for Expressions of Interest (EoI) from individuals, including teachers, scientists, researchers, professionals, and educators, to join a panel of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) for a period of three years. This panel will be responsible for a myriad of confidential academic tasks, such as creating questions, translating material, reviewing and validating answers, mapping curricula, and conducting research on examination quality. The deadline for submitting these applications is October 9. To be considered for this role, applicants must not have any affiliations with entities involved in preparing students for NTA examinations or similar entrance tests. This includes avoiding any commercial ties with test-preparation companies, tutoring platforms, or private tutoring services for the past three years. Additionally, they cannot have any immediate family members who are currently taking or will take NTA exams during the period for which they are being considered. Once selected, these experts will be required to sign a strict Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and refrain from any commercial associations with candidate-coaching entities for a period of two years following their last assignment.",
