According to him, the decision to not conduct the skill test, which on other days would carry 100 marks, was taken to ensure that minimum physical distancing is maintained during the conduct of the TS PECET examination for this year.
However, the remaining exam pattern for TS PECET 2020 is going to remain the same, added the Convenor. There will be a physical efficiency test, which is conducted for 400 marks, for those candidates who mark their presence in the test centres as per the norms.
