The government is considering adjustments to the JEE and NEET entrance exams to make them less challenging. The goal is to reduce students’ need to attend coaching institutes. A key aspect of the proposal involves making the exams more closely aligned with the 12th-grade curriculum. This would allow students to prepare for the exams through self-study. An expert panel will be reviewing the current structure of the exams to suggest changes.
The panel’s tasks include evaluating the gap between the difficulty level of the exams and the 12th-grade syllabus. The feedback from the panel will be used to evaluate the difficulty level of these entrance exams. The panel is also investigating the deficiencies in the current school education system that compel students to seek coaching. The committee will also evaluate the level of awareness among students and parents about various career options.
