Sir,

Sub: RIGGING of IIT Jee Mains online exam from January 6th 2019 onwards

I am caused to send this communication to you because you appear to be the ex-officio Chairman of the so-called NATIONAL TESTING AGENCY ("NTA") whose COMPUTER BASED EXAMS I am convinced shall be rigged and manipulated like some past government conducted exams like SSC-CGL 2017, CLAT 2018, AIIMS and also the various offline CBSE Class 12 exams of 2018 had been under the present Central government.

The cause of action for my sending this email to you is that I now have reason to believe that the NTA is established to be a single window for corrupt entry through prestigious entrance exams.

The public has not forgotten the political elements who were behind the VYAPAM entance exam rigging scam in Madhya Pradesh / Indore and it seems strange that the NTA seems to have granted key contracts to persons from Indore and thereby granted them mandates to run insecure online exam centres all over India where online exams will be held. You may thus kindly urgently inquire how a member of BJP's online IT team hailing from Indore has been awarded some contracts by NTA and is in a position to know all the personal particulars of the serious registered candidates for JEE Mains exam, and which may easily be misused to approach them for corrupt purposes.

It is pertinent to inform you that my overdue RTI request and a further RTI first appeal (Reg. No. DOHED/A/2018/60365 disposed on 14.Dec.2018 by Shri Prashant Aggarwal - Director (IITs) of your department) have still not proivided me any information whatsoever concerning why, how and by whom the so-called NTA has been established and given the sole mandate to conduct all the major entrance exams for India, and why the NTA is not RTI compliant even till date.

I am further concerned / alarmed to learn that all the data records including keyclicks of these exams will be hosted and stored on private data centres and these (ordinarily public) records have been directed by Shri Vineet Joshi's orders to be destroyed very soon after the exams are conducted.

It is further pertinent to inform you that I am still to be informed about the counter-measures for the various cyber security concerns which I described in my RTI request. Nor have I been informed how Mr. Vineet Joshi came to be selected as the Director General of the NTA. I need hardly remind you that Shri Joshi's suspiciously long tenure in CBSE was marred by several controversies in the conducting of the CBSE Class 12 exams and the JEE Mains / AIEEE exams.

Accordingly, in the face of the deliberately evasive attitude of MHRD and NTA to inform concerned citizens like myself how the the JEE Mains fully online 2019 exams are being conducted securely and to ensure fairness and transparency, I am constrained to publicly claim that the JEE Mans 2019 computer based exams appear to be rigged, with the hope that good sense and decency shall prevail in the Government of India.

sincerely
