At the same time, the Rajasthan Board has reduced the syllabus by 40 per cent, so they should reduce the fee by 40 per cent.
The department has also submitted a report with SOP guidelines to the Chief Minister`s Office requesting suggestions on reopening of schools from November 2.
Meanwhile, no similar decision has been taken for the students from classes I to VIII and they are not being called to schools as of now.

The decision on their school fees will be taken after the opening of the schools.
