Initially, ETEA was established to undertake administration
of Entrance Tests for admission to Engineering and Medical
institutions of the province in place of external testing agencies.
However, the scope of activities and the objectives for the ETEA
were broadened much beyond the Entrance Tests as stated in the Ordinance.
In short, it has to catalyse reforms in the examination and testing systems, impart training on these endeavours and extend the use of its electronic facilities to other institutions to bring in objectivity, transparency and efficiency.
