Preliminary results from a pilot program to monitor the intranight optical variability in Seyfert 2 galaxies are reported. This program is designed to test some of the prominent theoretical mechanisms proposed for the origin of optical microvariability in active galactic nuclei (AGN). Two out of 3 Seyfert 2 galaxies observed show evidence for microvariations. This detection can provide important constraints for the models utilizing discrete events on accretion disks.
