The Education Ministry is fast-tracking changes for board exams and entrance tests like NEET and JEE, aiming to reduce the pressure of single-attempt exams. Proposals include incorporating board marks, aligning entrance tests with school syllabi, and exploring multiple attempts and computer-based testing to enhance integrity and minimize risks.
