After opting for online tests for all recruitments, the Teachers Recruitment Board (TRB) faces a tough task as more than 1.64 lakh candidates have so far applied for the post of PG teachers.
The board has to conduct the exam in several phases besides ironing out the technical glitches that affected the test to recruit computer instructors on June 23. Candidates at many centres across the state had complained about poor network connection.
“The board will first iron out the issues that were identified in the previous exam. Only around 30,000 candidates had applied for that exam whereas more than 1.64 lakh have applied for the PG teachers test. It is not possible to conduct the exam for all candidates in one day. So, the TRB may conduct exams in a phased manner,” sources said.
The candidates are likely to be divided based on their subjects. “Candidates would appear in as many as 13 different subjects. Not a single subject will have more than 30,000 candidates. So, the exam will be conducted in phased manner for candidates applying for different subjects,” sources added.
Officials pointed out that there are many advantages in the online exam. “On the screen, only one question will appear at a time. They will appear in ascending order. If they candidates want jump the order they can also do it. They can also edit the answer till they submit the paper,” they said.
“Unlike the recruitment test for computer instructors, a majority of candidates appearing for the exam may not have the computer knowledge. So, while ensuring the smooth conduct of the exam, the TRB should also simultaneously prepare the candidates for computer-based tests through mock tests,” teachers said.
When asked, the TRB officials said the board will give links to mock tests to prepare the candidates. “The mock tests will be based on general topics to familiarise the candidates with the process,” they said.
Depending on the logistics and availability of dates, the exam date to recruit 2,144 PG assistants and physical education directors will be announced soon, offficials added. The last date for applying the test is on Monday.
