Giving rest to anxiety, thousands of students will take the first paper examination on Thursday, as slated by the CBSE. On first day, candidates’ competence in science subject will be tested.

Nearly in 40 CBSE schools candidate will appear in the examination. "This year as many as 9000 students will take the exams at different CBSE schools in the state capital. All the resource persons have been instructed to fairly conduct the exams. Notably, approximately 2500 students are appearing in the external exam (Board based) which is comparatively more in comparison to last year while remaining candidates will take school based internal exam," CBSE State coordinator, Manohar lal, pointed out.
All necessary arrangements have been made by the school management to conduct the board exams fairly. The external examination has already begun whereas the internal examination will start today. “All necessary arrangements have been made; invigilators have been instructed to carefully manage things.

Approximately, 350 students will take the examination from my school,” said Principal, Cambrian Public School, Neeta Pandey.
Explaining about the methods of excelling in science subject, Vice Principal, Oxford Public School, A K Singh said, “Kids just need to remember the basics and should answer in comprehensive way explaining their answer with diagrams, if required.
