Online baseline tests begin with tech glitches

Ludhiana: The online baseline tests for classes VI to X for the students of government schools began on Monday with a few technical glitches. The link of the tests was shared on WhatsApp groups, but many could not access it. In a few cases, students were not able to enter their e-Punjab ID and late, were not able to submit their tests. One of the teachers said, “Students are facing the problem in registering e-Punjab ID, which is required to register for the exam. And after that, they were not able to submit their tests.” An official from the education department said, “There was no issue with the link. It could have been a network issue.” District education officer, Jaswinder Kaur did not pick up the call despite repeated attempts. tnn
