Panjim: As the competitive examinations are delayed due to the nationwide lockdown in the wake of COVID-19, the Goa Government has decided to prepare the students for Goa GCT, JEE Main and NEET using online platform.
While the NEET examination is scheduled on July 26, the JEE Main will be held from July 18 to 23. The dates for GCET are yet to be announced by State Directorate of Technical Education.
The Directorate of Education have partnered with Embibe, an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered online platform for learning, practicing, and testing, for students in the State.
The department had tied up with Embibe's Personalized Adaptive Learning platform for Class X, across Goa, a couple of months ago, under which approximately 22,000 students from government as well as government-aided high schools received feedback on their unique areas for improvement, empowering them and their teachers to focus on these areas and improve their board examinations scores.
"In event of this crisis where students need more help, this partnership has now been extended to engineering and medical aspirants of Higher Secondary schools across the State, who do not have access to their classes during the ongoing lockdown," the department said.
To let students study more efficiently from the safety of their homes, the DoE in partnership with Embibe will provide analytical insights to the students who use its platform to prepare for their upcoming engineering and and medical entrance examinations.
Students from government and aided higher secondary schools, who are in the Science stream, will benefit from this initiative. "These practice tests will not only help them get a feel of the actual examination, but additionally, help to identify their weak areas for which separate sessions will be organized," it mentioned.
The practice tests had been organized for government higher secondary schools earlier in April. The facility has now been extended to students of aided schools as well. The mock tests began from May 12.
