Students attempted exams following covid-19 protocol
More than 36 thousand students reached 146 examination centres in Indore on Friday to attempt their first board examination for class 10 of Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education (MPBSE). The board examination began on Friday.
The first examination that students had to attempt was for a Hindi subject. The subject relieved some students as they found it easier than other subjects like English, Maths and Science.
Most students were anxious about attempting the examination offline. One of the students waiting outside the examination hall, Anika Rai said, “I am nervous because this is my first examination as we did not have such a board examination in class 8 as well.”
She added that scoring well is essential for her to pursue her dream of becoming an IAS officer.
Another student Jai Raghuvanshi said, “I am less nervous today because I like Hindi, but the idea of a board examination is daunting.” He felt nervous because of writing offline in a timed setting.
“We haven’t really attempted such a timed and important examination in over 2 years now, so this is scary,” Gunjan Mohnot, a student, said. She added that it was important to attempt such exams.
“We cannot run from offline exams forever and with my ambition to become a doctor, I must attempt more tougher exams,” Gunjan said.
Covid-19 protocols
Students were asked to report to examination centres 30 minutes prior to the examination time. They had to follow covid-19 protocol. All the students were screened for temperature.
Further, they had to sanitize their hands and show their admit cards. Students were warned about keeping social distance.
Invigilators further instructed them to keep the mask throughout the examination to avoid the chance of covid-19 transmissions.
As per registrations, 36,500 students in Indore attempted the examinations. Protocols were more strict as more students are attempting class 10 board examination over class 12 board examination in the district.
Inspection committees
To control chances of cheating, the school education department had secret inspection committees that reached various schools. The inspection committee had to ensure that there are no instances of cheating in the board examination.
“We conducted inspections with school education teams and tried to ensure fair examinations so that students learn about discipline and take board examinations seriously,” Deven Sonwani, MPBSE divisional officer, said.
