All options for taking the new exam are being considered," he said. The most appropriate option will be considered. An alternative is to give students a question paper at home and have it checked by teachers. Another option is to have the student called in schools with a very limited number of batches and give their exams there.
While the third option is online examination. This is the least likely new option as students in rural areas have very limited smartphone and computer facilities through which they can take online exams. There will be a high-level meeting on how to conduct the examination, in which each party will present its point. Based on which the most acceptable option will be adopted.
Bharat Gazipara, president of the Gujarat Self-Finance School Management Association, said the exams should be taken to make online meaningful. If students are given mass new promotion, then the credibility of online education will be questioned."
