The minimum passing score for driving licence tests in India has been raised to 75% from the previous 60%. This change aims to improve road safety standards.
The government has announced a significant change to the driving licence test requirements. Effective immediately, candidates must achieve a minimum of 75% marks to pass the test, a substantial increase from the previous requirement of 60%. This decision is part of a broader effort to enhance road safety standards across the country. Officials believe that raising the passing score will encourage applicants to prepare more thoroughly and ensure that only competent drivers obtain licences.
