No, but it could. Mount Everest is still being pushed up slightly (5 mm per year) as the subcontinent of India moves northward and folds up the rocks beneath the Himalayas. But erosion is reducing its height by at least that much, and a 2015 earthquake may have dropped the mountain's base by as much as 1 meter, wiping out 200 years of increased height.

Over the years Mount Everest has changed due to the ozone layer and climate. This has made the temperture go up and has melted more snow and ice.

Every year the mountain grows taller by 4mm as a result of the upward thrust generated by two opposing tectonic plates.
