New rule of five options in OMR sheet

According to Krishna Kunal, Administrative Secretary of the Education Department, this time in the REET exam, candidates will be given five options instead of four in the OMR sheet. If the candidate does not choose any of the four options for the answer to a question, then he will have to fill the fifth option. Failure to do so will result in negative marking. If a candidate does not fill any of the five options in more than 10% of the questions, he will be disqualified. Also, a plan is being considered to put the photo of the candidates on the OMR sheet along with their roll number to ensure their identity.

REET: A Brief Introduction

REET, i.e. Rajasthan Teacher Eligibility Test, is a mandatory eligibility test to become a teacher in government schools in Rajasthan. This exam is conducted by the Board of Secondary Education, Ajmer and the candidates who pass it get a Rajasthan Teacher Eligibility Certificate valid for three years. On the basis of this certificate, candidates can apply for teacher recruitment examinations held in the state for three years.

Conducting REET Exam: Long Wait and New Government Initiative

The last time REET exam was conducted was in 2022. At that time the then Congress government had decided to conduct REET every year, but due to various reasons the exam could not be conducted. Now, the new government has decided to conduct REET exam, which is going to end the wait of more than 15 lakh young candidates of the state.

Conclusion

This is an important opportunity for the candidates who want to become teachers in Rajasthan. This time there is a new hope attached to the REET exam with new changes and procedures. Keeping in mind the rule of five options on the OMR sheet in the exam and initiatives like photo to ensure identification, candidates should prepare well for the exam. This step of the state government can prove to be helpful in increasing the quality in the education sector and appointing qualified teachers.
