For the students welfare it was necessary to
bring transparency in the system (as they were
not able to judge themselves properly due to
incomplete information). So to make this task
accomplish our HOD Mr. Nilesh gupta took
initiative by using RTI & after the lots of efforts
of him we got victory in bringing transparency

there were lots of changes that have been
made in NTS Examination.
