The minister explained that this is to focus on promoting the mother tongue in the National Education Policy (NEP). However, the education ministry has not shared any information regarding the names of new languages.

Nishank also added further that students who could not score well earlier due to the language barrier they would be able to score more due to these possible changes. This will also increase the number of participants willing to appear for the JEE Main examination.
