To rebuild its workforce with specialized expertise, the agency has initiated recruitment for key leadership positions in cybersecurity, forensic investigation, test-centre operations, and assessment research, while also bringing in young professionals through the UPSC Pratibha Setu portal to minimize reliance on contractual staff. Supervised by a high-level monitoring committee led by former ISRO Chairman K. Radhakrishnan, these measures mark a major step toward structural reforms, which will also include shifting the NEET-UG examination from pen-and-paper format to computer-based testing starting in 2027.
