NEET, JEE Mains: The Student Islamic Organisation (SIO), an organization that works for students across the country, on Tuesday sent a letter to the Union education minister Ramesh Pokhriyal, demanding a timetable for all competitive exams at the earliest.
The student support organization has reached out to the Union Minister of Education to address misunderstandings regarding the conduct of Joint Entrance Examination( JEE) Mains and the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate) (NEET-UG).
In view of the seriousness of this situation, unprecedented measures will need to be taken to ensure that critical assessment and evaluation work can be done without endangering the mental and physical well-being of a whole generation of students, ”the SIO said in a statement. It suggests that in addition to adhering to strict Covid agreements at all test centers, there is a need to increase the number of test centers. “The aim should be to reduce the number of students in each institution to ensure social isolation,” said Mohammad Salman Ahmad, president of SIO national.

SIO, established in 1982, is a student support organization fighting for student rights across the country. They were the first to demand that all-India exams such as NEET be run in regional languages as well. This led to NEET being held in 11 languages, including English, Hindi, Marathi, and Urdu.
In the absence of clear information on the state of the competitions, student groups also contacted the national examining body with suggestions on how these exams could be organized without further delay.
“Last year, admissions to vocational courses started in November and continued until January of this year due to the delay in taking entrance tests across India. We hope the authorities don’t plan to repeat the same mistakes this year as well, ”said Omkar Khedekar, a 12th grade student who signed an online petition, along with many others, to avoid delaying exams. .
The delay in the decision on the assessment of Class 12 for Maharashtra State Council students also adds to the anxiety of students opting for professional undergraduate courses.
Earlier this year, the increase in Covid-19 cases forced all state and national school boards to drop council exams for Classes 10 and 12. While the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and the Council of Indian Secondary Certificate Examinations (CISCE) have announced a formula-based scoring system, Maharashtra State Council has yet to announce its position.
“While the CBSE and CISCE have both announced their assessment criteria … we have decided to dig deeper into this matter before announcing anything for our students (HSC),” said a senior official from the department of public school education.
