In the year 2020, the Board had conducted examinations of SSC as per schedule that began on March 3. But with an increasing number of coronavirus cases, the Board had to cancel the last paper of Geography. Now, the Government has asked the Board to take all precautions while holding examinations. To avoid untoward incidents, the administration has appointed flying squads. Apart from the flying squads appointed by the Board, vigilant committees have been constituted under the District Collector. There will be some special squads of women. The sudden visits by Government officers, board members, the videography, too, has been planned.
Some students go into depression during examinations. To help them, the Board has appointed counsellors who will guide students if needed. Students or parents are not expected to ask counsellors about examination details like examination centre, sitting arrangement or examination system. Numbers of the counsellors are available on the official website of the Board.
‘My School, My Centre’
Traditionally the Board conducts examinations at stipulated centres where more students gather at one centre. Government felt it would be difficult for everyone to follow Covid-19 rules in a crowd. So, it has brought the concept of ‘My School, My Centre’ . Now, students will write their examinations at their own schools.
