Shalaka Pariksha” is a Indian traditional method of very transparent system of examination, in which the whole textbook has to be learnt by the student for appearing in the examination.

That is why there has been concentration on learning the whole textbook in this examination. It is a very transparent system of examination as the whole examination is conducted publicly. There is a head examiner for the examination, assisted by two other examiners, who are basically the scholars of the subject in which the examination is conducted. Each examiner has a stick in his hand which is called ‘Shalaka’.

The examination is conducted in three round -- learning, lecture and question-answer session.
