Prime Minister's Office pushes exam system makeover after NEET-UG controversy
After the NEET-UG controversy, the Prime Minister's Office is pushing for a major exam system makeover.
The Ministry of Education is considering giving up to 50% weightage to board marks for admissions, syncing JEE and NEET syllabi with school studies to cut down on coaching stress, and switching to computer-based adaptive tests.
Government committee proposes 3-4 JEE sittings
A government committee suggests letting students take JEE 3-4 times a year instead of just two, and dropping the December-January session for smoother schedules.
NCERT could soon be made the nodal agency for aligning Class 11-12 syllabi with JEE and NEET requirements, while stricter rules on coaching centers and smarter analysis of exam data are also on the table.
The final report is expected soon and could really change how big exams work in India.
