The Rajasthan state government has decided to organize 40% of the annual exams for students class 3-to 5, while the remaining 60% are given to all public and private students by their respective schools. The decision on exams was made by the Rajasthan Ministry of Education, taking into account the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Department of Education had previously established internal and external grades for students this year, giving students in grades 6-8, 50 marks as internal grades, while the remaining 50% were awarded through ‘organized review. Depending on the department, students in grades 3-8 write a workbook, based on which students take the tests.
