Besides board exams, students now face a cascade of entrance tests such as JEE, NEET, NATA, CLAT and CUET, then GATE, CAT, CUET-PG and NET for higher studies. With affordable quality education scarce, many make repeated attempts, while board results meant to certify learning are rendered irrelevant.
