The Kerala Motor Vehicles Department (MVD) is all set to overhaul the ‘learner’s licence examination’ being followed in the State from October 1 by introducing changes in the learner’s licence question paper model. According to C.H. Nagaraju, the Transport Commissioner, Kerala, currently, 20 multiple-choice questions with 3 or 4 options are asked in the Part 1 test (online test). Sixty percent is the minimum mark required to pass, with at least 12 correct answers out of 20. Each question has to be answered within 15 seconds.
In the new pattern of the learner’s licence online exam, this will change to 30 multiple-choice questions. One must correctly answer at least 18 questions, which is again a 60% cut-off. Each question has to be answered within 30 seconds, as usual. The syllabus from which the questions will be asked is available on the new MVD LEADS Mobile App. The App also offers practice tests and mock tests for candidates to practise before attempting the actual learner’s licence exam. This system will be implemented from October 1, 2025.
