After CBSE, NEET portal under lens: Is NTA's re-exam portal vulnerable?

This edition of 5 Live examines critical technical failures and security vulnerabilities within India's national examination systems. Just weeks ahead of the NEET-UG re-test, a Dubai-based cybersecurity researcher reports significant weaknesses in the National Testing Agency's NEET re-examination portal, suggesting unauthorised administrative access could compromise official data. Simultaneously, the Central Board of Secondary Education's re-evaluation portal experienced widespread crashes following a four-day delay. The CBSE attributes these disruptions to a massive cyberattack involving 1.5 million denial-of-service hits within two minutes. Former officials further allege administrative lapses, including the use of unqualified evaluators and doubled daily quotas. Legal advocates have approached the Chief Justice of India to offer pro bono assistance to affected students. The broadcast also covers the suicide of a Punjab student following alleged harassment over unpaid school fees and reports on former Tamil Nadu BJP chief Annamalai's potential resignation. Additionally, a health segment compares the protein content of homemade curd, Greek yogurt, and skyr to assist viewers in making informed nutritional choices without artificial additives.
