It's good that government college students will also get familiar with OMR sheet usage.
What is the Optical Mark Recognition or OMR sheet?
OMR sheet is a way of marking answers usually MCQs on a separate sheet with bubbles(circles) on it. OMR sheet answers are readable on the computer.
Candidates fill in the right option circle with black/blue ball pen on the OMR sheet. The OMR sheets then collected by examiners and answers are scanned, checked & marked by computer.
In this way students can keep objective type paper with them which is collected back after solving in conventional MCQs paper.
Another benefit of OMR sheet is to avoid wrong checking caused by overwriting, cutting, or duplicate answers in conventional objective or MCQ type problems.
