The public consultation on reforming India’s examination system is currently open, giving students, parents and other residents in Noida and Greater Noida an opportunity to submit suggestions directly to the national task force examining the issue.

The High-Powered Task Force led by Nandan Nilekani is accepting public suggestions until September 13, 2026, according to an official Press Information Bureau release.

Residents who want to participate can submit their suggestions through the government’s official examination-reform portal.

What is the consultation about?

The task force is examining possible reforms to the public examination system.

One of the subjects under consideration is the use of secure computer-based testing.

That does not mean that the government has decided to move all public examinations to computer-based testing. The current exercise is a consultation, and suggestions are being invited before recommendations are finalised.

What Noida students and parents need to know

  • Deadline: September 13, 2026.
  • Submission status: The consultation is currently open.
  • Who can participate: The official exercise is seeking suggestions from the public.
  • Where to submit: Use the official examination-reform portal Public Examination Reform Consultation Portal
  • Fee: No fee is stated for submitting suggestions.
  • Payment warning: This is a public consultation, not an admission or recruitment application. Residents should use the official government portal rather than paying a third party to submit feedback.

The official Press Information Bureau announcement also lists phone, WhatsApp and email options for contacting the task force.

Why this matters for Noida and Greater Noida

Noida and Greater Noida have a large population of students and families who regularly interact with school, university and competitive examination systems.

The current consultation gives them a direct route to place their concerns or suggestions before the task force while the reform exercise is still underway.

Residents who want their views considered should submit them before the September 13 deadline.
