The Hindu
Hyderabad SSC exams begin smoothly with grace time, police assistance and free bus rides for students.
The Secondary School Certificate examinations started on a positive note on Monday, with most students reaching their centres in time.
Lifting the earlier rule that candidates will not be allowed into the centre if they are late by a minute, the State government recently announced a grace time of up to five minutes for the students. No incident of late comers being denied entry to the centres was reported on the first day.
A total of 2,676 centres across the State hosted the examination for over 5.08 lakh students. The exam duration was three hours—9.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m.—for first-language paper, with first-language composite paper getting 20 minutes extra.
The Board of Secondary Education employed 30,000 invigilators and 144 flying squad teams to ensure the examinations are conducted fairly.
