Overview

  • The government is considering changes based on feedback from a Ministry of Education panel set up in June.
  • The panel, chaired by Higher Education Secretary Vineet Joshi, is studying if exam difficulty matches the Class 12 syllabus.
  • No policy decision has been announced, with officials describing the effort as under consideration pending the panel’s findings.
  • The nine-member group includes representatives from CBSE, NCERT, IIT Madras, IIT Kanpur, NIT Trichy and principals from Kendriya Vidyalaya, Navodaya Vidyalaya and a private school.
  • The review stems from concerns about heavy reliance on coaching and complaints over student welfare issues, including suicides, fire incidents and inadequate facilities at institutes.
