Educare Skill Academy Expert Note:

“With over 9,000 seats, this is a massive opportunity for students in West Bengal and Bihar. Pay special attention to the Trade Test. Even if you score high in the written exam (CBT), failing the practical trade assessment (like cooking, driving, or masonry) will lead to disqualification. Also, since there is a 0.25 negative marking in the CBT, accuracy is more important than attempting every question!”
