Mukulam portal to ensure equal opportunities for students in entrance tests: Keralam Minister
The Kerala government has launched the 'Mukulam' portal, an AI-driven platform designed to provide free training for competitive entrance exams to public school students. The initiative aims to bridge the educational gap for students who cannot afford private tuition.
Why it matters
The use of AI in public education to democratize access to competitive exam preparation represents a significant shift in state-led educational technology policy.
The Mukulam portal developed by Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE) will enable equal opportunities in competitive examinations for public school students in Keralam through the use of artificial intelligence (AI), Minister for General Education N. Samsudheen has said.
He was speaking after inaugurating Mukulam AI-based portal as part of the government’s 100-day programme here on Tuesday.
The Minister said initiatives such as Mukulam would help the higher secondary sector achieve excellence. These should be implemented in schools effectively.
Mukulam will provide higher secondary and vocational higher secondary students free AI-based training to prepare them for entrance tests such as NEET, JEE CUET, KVPY and for admission to IISER.
Students unable to take private tuition owing to financial difficulties will benefit from Mukulam. AI has been integrated into the portal to identify individual students’ learning requirements and provide required support and practice.
