Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal has urged the students, parents and stakeholders to post their queries or concerns with hashtag #EducationMinisterGoesLive on Twitter. He will address all the queries and concerns on December 10 at 10 AM. Thus, he has asked all students from Boards and Competitive exams like JEE Main and NEET 2021, to participate and post their queries under the hashtag.
We can see a major trend under the hashtag. Students who wish to appear for JEE and NEET 2021 have been pushing for exams in May or June. Many students further request to postpone the board exams 2021 till May or June. The major concern here is the lack of classroom teaching this academic year. They have also said that they at least need 2 months of classroom teaching to give the board exams. A look at this tweet and its replies shows the ground reality.
Respected Minister its our humble request to please postpone the board exams to May. We children are writing to you in hopes that you listen to our troubles and grievances. We really need your help.
