As per the approval of Union Cabinet, the NTA is created as a Society registered under the Indian Societies Registration Act, 1860.

 

To ensure the smooth functioning of the National Testing Agency, the Union Cabinet has decided to keep an eminent educationist (appointed by MHRD) as its Chairman. The CEO of NTA is the Director-General appointed by the Government and assisted by 9 academicians/experts.-*
