CBSE Board, JEE Main 2021 and NEET 2021: Students pose these 10 important questions to Education Minister

Taking to Twitter on Wednesday, Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank said that he will address all concerns in a live interaction on December 10. He further asked the students to use the hashtag #EducationMiniterGoesLive to address all their queries that they want him to answer. These include all questions related to CBSE Board exams, JEE Main 2021 and NEET 2021.

Thus, seeing the trend on Twitter (and Facebook) these are the top 10 queries put out by students and parents.

1. The question on JEE Main 2021 and NEET 2021 syllabus

Reduce syllabus, is the main issue at the time.

Sir all the students are not able to sleep bcoz we have 4-5 hrs of school then 5-7 hrs of tuition then atleast 3hrs of entrance coaching and it's affecting our memory. Please cut down the syllabus for both boards and entrances! @DrRPNishank@msisodia#EducationMinisterGoesLive

5. Increase the number of seats in institutes post-JEE Main 2021 and NEET 2021

Sir, the special reservation is a much appreciated move which is more helpful to govt school students. At the same time please increase mbbs seats as students who scored around 550 are getting affected.#increasetnmbbsseats #increasetnmedicalseats @Vijayabaskarofl @EPSTamilNadu
