Rajasthan government plans optional board exams like CBSE

AJMER: Education minister Govind Singh Dotasra said the state government will also plan to conduct board exams for those students who are not satisfied with their result.
He said that like CBSE, the Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education will also plan to provide option to the students who wanted to appear in the examination. Dotasra on Saturday was talking to reporters after declaring the Class XII result in RBSE main office in Ajmer on Saturday evening.
He added that during pandemic the state government faced a double challenge to safeguard the students and to provide them result on time so that they can apply for their higher studies in different institutes. “If things went right then the RBSE will conduct REET on September 26,” the education minister added.
On the question of opening schools in Rajasthan, Dotasra said that his department consulted the experts and decided to re-open schools in the state from August 2. But the chief minister has formed a committee under cabinet minister Raghu Sharma who will submit a report to the CM in the coming days.
Looking at the pandemic situation, the education department is also planning to have monthly assessment of students and the direction in this matter will soon be issued so that the result of students can be prepared according to their performance. He said that in the last academic session the syllabus in class X and XII was reduced so that students can prepare accordingly. But in the next academic session, the decision of reducing the syllabus in class X and XII has not yet been taken and therefore schools have to complete the whole syllabus.
