However, only those senior teachers working in government or government-aided higher secondary schools are on duty participating in the public examinations. However, there are only about 1 Lakh senior teachers working in government or government-aided schools. It is not possible to conduct public examinations with this resource.

However, these private school teachers will be entrusted only with the tasks of examination hall invigilator and correction of answer-sheets.
