Students Demand TRE‑4 Exam Reform Amid Heightened Security in Patna

Student bodies are pressing for three core reforms related to the TRE‑4 exam: removal of negative marking, consolidation of the test into a single stage, and a unified "one candidate‑one result" system. The state government opened dialogue on Monday, assigning the education secretary, district magistrate, and senior police officers to attend separate talks with group representatives. While some issues saw tentative agreement, the demand to scrap negative marking remained unresolved, prompting the continuation of the street action on Tuesday.
