39,000 students to write SSLC exam in 237 centres

Number of centres has gone up as only one student is permitted to write the exam in each desk, 12 students in each room

This year’s SSLC examination in Mysuru district will happen in almost double the number of centres that existed last year. And it’s even more challenging for the authorities of the Department of Public Instruction to supervise the examination process with100-plus centres added for the safety of students. However, the steep fall in COVID-19 cases has come as a big respite for conducting the examination, in a new format, on July 19 and 22 though all recommended SOPs will be put in place at the centres so that students feel safe. The number of examination centres in the district has gone up to 237 from 142 with only 12 students permitted to write the exam in each room and only one student allowed to sit at each desk. About 165 centres are in rural areas and 72 in urban centres. Majority of the centres are located in government schools and steps have been taken for disinfecting all centres.
