State education minister Vinod Tawde made the announcement yesterday

HSC students may have to decide their future plans before appearing for their board exams, if state government's plan is implemented - while filling their forms before the exams, they will have to specify if they plan to appear for NEET/JEE-like competitive examinations; for those who tick yes, there will be a different set of question papers. State education minister Vinod Tawde announced the proposal yesterday for which suggestions from experts in the field will soon be sought. If approved, it will be implemented from the March 2019 HSC exams.
