NTA launches Hindi Test Feature in National Test Abhyas app

India's National Test Agency has quietly expanded access to one of the world's largest standardized testing platforms by introducing Hindi as a test language in its National Test Abhyas app, a move that could reshape competitive exam preparation for millions of students in non-English speaking regions. The addition threatens to upend the traditional English-language gatekeeping that has long advantaged urban, affluent test-takers while potentially democratizing access to India's most prestigious universities and professional programs. By bringing elite exam preparation into India's most widely spoken language, NTA is making a calculated bet that linguistic inclusion will trump concerns about standardization and comparability.
