Javadekar also said that state governments will be given authority to reintroduce class V and VIII board examinations too. For that, we will be pass the proposal to the cabinet and then in Parliament. “The decision to conduct class V and VIII board examinations will be left with the state,” said Prakash Javadekar.

“This is my answer to the high cost coaching institutes and the spate of suicides reported from IIT prep students,” said Javadekar.

According to Javadekar, government will also be introducing free online courses for IIT aspirants. The planned portal for students will be called “IIT PAL.” HRD Minister wants to improve the quality of education given in the schools nationwide.
