[^1]\n\nNepal and India share a vast and increasingly volatile Himalayan river system, where floods in Nepal can trigger disasters in India depending on rainfall, river levels, and infrastructure on the Indian side. [^2]\n\nThe severity of flooding in India depends on a three-part chain: rainfall in Nepal, the river's behavior crossing the mountain front, and Indian conditions such as embankments and drainage. [^3]\n\nIIT Kanpur director Prof Manindra Agrawal proposed the adaptive testing system at the 55th IIT Council meeting on August 25, 2025, citing concerns over the growing influence of the coaching industry and the stress it places on students. [^4]\n\nThe IIT Council minutes released in January 2026 recommended that the Joint Admission Board (JAB) and IIT Kanpur examine the proposal's feasibility and operational requirements. [^5]\n\nThe IITs aim to launch the new adaptive testing system as early as 2030, requiring a formal announcement by early 2027 after at least three years of research and validation. [^6]\n\nBihar is identified as the most exposed Indian state, with roughly three-quarters of north Bihar classified as flood-prone, primarily due to the Kosi, Gandak, Bagmati, and Kamala rivers. [^7]\n\nSaswata Sanyal, ICIMOD's intervention manager for disaster risk reduction, stated that India has roughly 12 hours to two days of warning for ordinary monsoon floods but noted gaps in real-time monitoring and shared forecasting models.
