IIT Alumnus Kamakoti Set to Lead NTA Reforms

Kamakoti, an IIT alumnus who famously failed the JEE in his youth, has been appointed to lead a major reform initiative for the National Testing Agency (NTA).

His appointment follows a series of controversies surrounding exam integrity, with the government tasking him with overhauling the agency's digital infrastructure and security protocols.

Kamakoti's unique background is seen as a strategic choice to bring a fresh, student-centric perspective to the management of India's high-stakes competitive examinations.
