The University Grants Commission (UGC) has set up a seven-member committee headed by R P Tiwari.
This committee will consider the issue of holding common entrance test at undergraduate (UG) level only from the next academic year in central universities to provide a single platform for admission.
The new National Education Policy (NEP) advocates reducing the number of entrance tests to eliminate the need for taking coaching for these exams.
If the NEP suggestion is implemented, the National Testing Agency will be established.
