PMO Drives Exam Reform Push to Ease NEET, JEE Single-Attempt Pressure

The Prime Minister's Office has stepped in to oversee major reforms to India's exam system following the NEET-UG controversy. The Education Ministry is expediting changes to both board exams and entrance tests such as NEET and JEE. Key proposals under consideration include giving weightage to board exam marks and aligning entrance test content with school curricula. Authorities are also exploring multiple attempt options and computer-based testing to strengthen exam integrity. The reforms aim to reduce the high-stakes pressure associated with single-attempt entrance examinations.
