All education boards in the country under the Ministry of HRD shall find ways to introduce common practices, including exam schedules and result declaration. As most of the students are competing in the national level exams, four committees will work towards creating a level-playing field for all. The committees will be looking into common core syllabus, question paper patterns, teacher training and exam schedules and tackling unfair means. The boards have also decided to declare resultsby 31st of May so that no students can lose chances for admission at national institutes. The committee will also explore ways to develop common subject codes and roll number patterns. The committee will also work for common question paper patterns across boards. A common question paper pattern will ensure that equal weightage is given to various components in exams to avoid inflation of marks.
