Putting multiple POST API in a single Resource class in Spring boot application

I am going to implement a POST API in an existing resource class StudentResource, which contains already a POST REST API in order to create a Student.

The new POST API is basically for validating a Student entity, of the following form:

POST /api/student/validate     Request Body:      {       student_id : <>,       validation_type : <>    }  

Now, I am not able to understand, should I create a new resource class: StudentValidationResource to put this new validate REST API or should I put this in existing StudentResource.

Could anyone please help here?
