Along with the exam dates, the Commission has also released the normalisation formula for the preliminary examination to be held in more than one shift. The Commission has said that the committee of experts had recommended the above formula after a thorough study of the court orders.
The Commission usually releases the admit card a week ahead of the examination. Now, the Commission is expected to release the admit card a week or three days before the examination. However, the Commission has not confirmed admit card release date yet.
RO/ARO preliminary examination was earlier held on February 11, however due the alleged paper leak charges the exam was cancelled. Also students have been protesting against conducting the exam in more than one shift as it could impact their marks due to the normalization process.
