- The examination is conducted by a board of three persons nominated by the Director, viz., one Regional Deputy Director of Education, one Headmaster or Principal and one District Education Officer. They arrange among themselves to set, moderate and mark the papers and moderate the results. They are entitled to a fee of Rs. 50 each for this work. There are two papers, one on the relevant sections of the Education Code and/on educational statistics and the other on the relevant sections of such other rules and manuals as an inspecting officer or head teacher or head cleric is likely to require. All candidates are permitted to consult the relevant manuals (including the Education Code) and the questions will be so devised as to test their power of applying the rules intelligently rather than their faculty for memorizing. Pass marks are half of the maximum in each case. A candidate who has appeared at the examination but has failed in one paper is required, when next he sits for the examination, to take only that paper in which he has failed and not both papers. If he passes in that paper he is held to have passed the examination. Candidates are entitled to travelling allowance for their journey to the examination under rule 110 of the Bihar Travelling Allowance Rules.(G. O. no., 3484-E., dated the 14th May, 1930.)Note. - Rules regarding Departmental Examination of Headmasters of non-Government High/Higher Secondary Schools have been laid down in Section VI of Chapter IV of this Code.
