Education dept to monitor class 5, 8 exam applications till 21 Oct
The education department has issued strict instructions for the effective monitoring and facilitation of online applications for the Class 8 Preliminary Education Completion Certificate Examination and the Class 5 Primary Education Learning Level Assessment, 2027. Registrar Shishram Kulhari directed that applications for all eligible and regular students in government, government Sanskrit, deaf-mute, blind schools, private schools and madrasas within the jurisdiction must be completed within the stipulated deadline.
Officers have been told to evaluate the school and block application status report daily on their login, contact schools with low applications to speed up the process, and continuously motivate school heads. The department has directed regular checking of its website and the Shala Darpan/PSP web portal for guidelines. Any technical problems such as school recognition, portal registration or third language subject mapping will be consolidated at the DIET level and escalated. The deadline to complete every eligible student's application is 21 October.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The directive shifts responsibility for application completion squarely onto school heads and block officers, with daily reporting designed to prevent last-minute rushes. The seven newly formed districts, where DIET institutions are not yet fully functional, will remain under the monitoring of their former district DIETs until results are declared and mark sheets distributed. Teacher union RESTA's state president Mohar Singh Salawad welcomed the order but stressed that technical and administrative glitches must be resolved quickly. With panchayat general elections, state common examinations and mid-term holidays approaching, the department has barred any delay in completing applications for eligible students.
The key operational test will be whether the daily monitoring and the DIET-level consolidation of category-wise problems can clear portal registration and mapping issues before 21 October.
