  • CBSE to provide mock tests for online Tech Exam.

    Considering the low level of acceptance of online exams, mock test will be available from the last week of December or the first week of January 2012 on the AIEEE/CBSE website, said a circular issued by the Central Board of Secondary Education. Students can use these mock test papers to practice for the online AllIndia Engineering Entrance Exam (AIEEE-2012) that is to be held in May 2012.

    Last year, CBSE had organised the online exam for 5,000 AP students in Hyderabad. However, less than 100 students had appeared for it. Similarly, CBSE had planned online exam for one lakh students in 20 centres across the country, but less than 4,000 students opted for it.This time, CBSE has been taking measures to ensure that a large number of students opt for online exams to be held in 22 cities including Hyderabad, Vijayawada and Vizag between May 7 and 26. Off-line exam will be held in Guntur, Tirupati and Warangal on April 29.

  • Passports for Toefl, GRE applicants now in a jiffy.

    In order to reduce the application process for students appearing for TOEFL and GRE exams, the Regional Passport Office, Hyderabad, said on Friday that all such students can henceforth fill the passport application online and without waiting for the allotment of a slot, can walk in to any one of the three ‘Passport Seva Kendras’ (PSKs) Begumpet, Ameerpet and Tolichowki in the city along with the necessary documents and submit their applications.

    Such a facility has been extended to students because the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) and GRE (Graduate Record Examinations) mandatorily seek the passport number of the candidate to be mentioned in the application forms.

    “Earlier, they used to wait for months to get a slot after applying for the passports online due to non-availability of slots.

    And even after the acceptance of their regular applications, the students had to wait for some more time for the police verification process to be completed.

    Because of this, several students wanting to go abroad could not appear for the TOEFL and GRE exams. Now, with this facility, we hope the process gets speeded up,” K Srikar Reddy, Regional Passport Officer (RPO), Hyderabad, told TOI.
