Guesswork out, hard work in: MVD set to make learner's test tougher
The New Indian Express Thrissur
|January 14, 2025
To introduce negative marking system and stimulation-based hazard perception test
UNTIL now, getting a learner's licence had more or less been a cakewalk for many. All that is set to change with the Motor Vehicle Department (MVD) planning to bring in major changes in the test format in two months.
Besides increasing the number of Multiple Choice Questions, the MVD is set to introduce negative marks for wrong answers. Candidates will also have to pass a simulation-based hazard perception test.
As per the revised learner's test format, a candidate will have to attempt 30 MCQs, each having five options, instead of the current 20 questions. There will be negative marking - 0.25 marks will be deducted for every wrong answer. One needs to achieve a pass percentage of 60, that is 18 marks out of 30, to move to the next stage of the test.
