Citizens from Maharashtra looking to apply for learners’ license tests won’t have to report to the RTO office. The State Transport Department now allows the applicants to apply and take the learners’ test online from the comfort of their homes. The Aadhaar-based authentication will enable the aspirants to take the new learners’ test. The test has a few videos on road safety, and then the applicants need to attend a quiz after watching the videos. The cut-off score of the test is 60 per cent. And, after finishing the examination, scoring 60 per cent or above, applicants can download their license themselves.
