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.
