Speaking further Sarma said that things need to be discussed as to why very less number of students from the state are able to crack national level examinations.

"We need to find out what are we missing on while teaching the students political science or social science that they are unable to crack NEET, medical entrances", he said.

"What are we lacking that a post graduate candidate has to opt for a 3rd or 4th grade job", he questioned further.

The Chief Minister also said that perhaps there is a need to deviate from the conventional way or traditional thinking when it comes to education.

He stressed that the curriculum should be such that every science student should be able to crack NEET or medical entrances.
