Speaking to The Hindu, Visakhapatnam District Educational Officer L. Chandrakala said that due to the change in the science paper examination pattern from this year, the School Education Department (SDE) started conducting pre-final examinations and practice tests for students from October last.
The questions from 1 to 16 are related to physical science and from 17 to 33 are related to biological science. Students will be given two booklets of 12 pages each to write answers separately.
“But generally in examinations, students have a habit of answering easy questions first. So students should have to pay more attention while attempting the science paper. However, due to the practice, it will be easy for them. Our invigilators will also alert them” said Ms. Chandrakala.
If students write answers related to biological science on the booklet with questions related to physical science, they will not be valuated. The invigilators were directed to alert the students every 15 minutes while writing the science exam.
On the other hand, the first day of examinations in the district started peacefully on Monday. Out of a total of 27,855 students, 132 students did not appear for the exam.
“There were no untoward incidents on Monday. All the officials including Visakhapatnam Collector A. Mallikarjuna have inspected the examination centres,” said Ms. Chandrakala.

The municipal bus stand auditorium in Malappuram was packed. But nobody quite knew what to expect. After all, a new event was making its debut at the State School Arts Festival. The moment V.G. Harikrishnan started his rendition of Pyar bhare do sharmile nain..., everyone was convinced that Ghazal was here to stay. The student from GVHSS, Atholi (Kozhikode), was applauded loudly for his rendering of the timeless ghazal sung originally by Mehdi Hassan.

For the last few weeks, several wards in Madurai city have been getting piped drinking water through a new drinking water scheme. The sweetness of the generously supplied water has led to loss of business to several suppliers of canned drinking water in the city. But, not many know that the water supplied to the houses in Madurai is directly drawn from Lower Dam of Mullaperiyar Dam in Idukki district of Kerala.
