The Board of Secondary Education, Rajasthan (RBSE) has started the Class 12 practical exams from today, April 1. The Class 12 practical exams will continue till April 30. Since the Rajasthan board is holding Class 12 practical exams amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the board has made it mandatory for the students and the exam functionaries to follow certain guidelines. Due to increasing COVID-19 cases in the state, the board has constituted a team of five subject-specialists who will help in conducting the practical exams in the schools. The board, this year, will not appoint any external examiners for the practical exams due to COVID-19 restrictions. The Class 12 Rajasthan board practical exams will be examined by the school teachers itself. Schools can also connect with district education officers if they do not have the required number of examiners, an RBSE statement said. RBSE Chairman Dr DP Jaroli, in the statement said that the board generally appoints a group of invigilators to examine the practical exam papers in more than five schools. The invigilators take over a period of four to five days to get the papers examined. Due to this the invigilators also have to travel long distances to reach the exam venue.
