For this, fund has been allotted to all districts. The exam will be held by the end of February. There will be written papers, distributed among the students.

The question papers will have ten pages which will cost around Rs 8 to Rs10 while we have been provided with only Re 1 for each student to hold the performance exam.”He further added, “It is impossible to hold the exam with this meagre amount. We are set to write a letter to the higher authorities in this regard. Several large districts have already expressed their inability to hold the examination.”
