Measured over 29 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 22, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 160 interactions against 884K followers, an engagement rate of 0.018%. Measured over 29 original posts, its engagement rate beats 40% of 1,003 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 61K times each, and 0.264% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.86% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.1 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 43% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 29 posts sampled, 93% carry an image or video and 55% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 10K interactions, about 65x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #nta, #nationaltestingagency, #gem.

Compared with accounts its own size
National Testing Agency's engagement rate beats 40% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (1,003 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 5 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 18% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.018%, National Testing Agency sits above the 25th percentile of the 10,151 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.007% to 0.047%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 11:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 93% of posts | +79% | +73% to +85% | 5.8K |
| Outbound link | 55% of posts | -49% | -50% to -47% | 6.1K |
| Typical length | - | +13% | +10% to +15% | 6.4K |
- 93% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 79% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 55% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 49% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 1150 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 13% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

Regarding claims about Shri Avaneesh Srivastava (App No. 260411198880, Roll No. 2001805051) and his NEET (UG) 2026 OMR answer sheet: NTA has verified the record. The genuine OMR of the candidate is on file. It was also emailed to him at the registered e-mail address during the OMR Response Key challenge window. It bears the candidate’s correct name (Avaneesh Srivastava), the name of his father (Mukesh Kumar) and the name of his mother (Rekha Kumari), his signature and thumb impression, and the signatures of the invigilators. The image being circulated is not an OMR sheet issued by NTA. The identity inserted into that image ("Ajeet Singh, son of Shri Lakhan Singh and Smt. Reena Singh") does not correspond to any candidate registered for NEET (UG) 2026. No candidate by that name and parentage exists in the NEET (UG) 2026 database. The image is a digitally regenerated version of the candidate’s own genuine OMR sheet. The identity fields have been overwritten, and the printed portion of the sheet has been regenerated by AI or OCR-based tools, producing visible errors on portions of the genuine OMR sheet and cannot be altered by any candidate with a pen. The candidate’s own OMR sheet on record has been correctly evaluated. The score of 337 marks is verified and stands as declared. Creating or circulating a forged OMR answer sheet is an offence under the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 160 interactions against 884K followers, an engagement rate of 0.018%. Measured over 29 original posts, its engagement rate beats 40% of 1,003 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 61K times each, and 0.264% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.86% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.1 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 43% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 29 posts sampled, 93% carry an image or video and 55% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 10K interactions, about 65x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #nta, #nationaltestingagency, #gem.
- What is National Testing Agency's engagement rate on X?
- National Testing Agency (@NTA_Exams) has an engagement rate of 0.018%, based on the median interactions across 29 original posts from the last 30 days against 884,295 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.018%, National Testing Agency sits above the 25th percentile of the 10,151 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @NTA_Exams have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 40% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (1,003 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @NTA_Exams post?
- Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.13 posts per day across the measured window.
