2024 also witnessed the introduction of three annual examinations for Class 10 and Class 12 students, aimed at reducing academic pressure.

While this move provides students with multiple opportunities to improve their scores, it also raises questions about the long-term effectiveness of such a system.

By allowing examinations in March, May, and August, the education department hopes to relieve the stress of a single high-stakes examination. However, this could lead to increased pressure as students may feel compelled to take multiple attempts to perform better.

Though the reform reflects a shift toward a more flexible approach, it also requires careful monitoring to ensure it truly benefits students without creating new challenges.
