The Tripura’s BJP-IPFT government has decided to hike the honorarium for evaluating board exam answer scripts from this year. Nearly four thousands teachers would be engaged in board exam papers’ evaluation work in Tripura this year.
Earlier the evaluators used to get ₹6 per copy, which has been increased to ₹10 per copy, Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath said. “Unlike other years, the evaluation of the answer scripts will be decentralized. Evaluation of copies of Class 10 would be done at Agartala in West district, Udaipur in Gomati district and Kumarghat in Unakoti district.The Class 12 copies would be evaluated only at Agartala. We have also hiked honorarium of the evaluators from Rs. 6 to Rs. 10 for each copy,” Ratan Nath told reporters at state civil secretariat on Wednesday.
The evaluators would also be given travel allowances based on the distance from the evaluation centers. “We are trying to announce the results of the board examinations soon. Evaluation of Class 10 and Class 12 exam papers would begin from April 16. It would continue till April 22,” Nath said.
