School and Mass Education Minister Samir Ranjan Dash on Tuesday directed the Council of Higher Secondary Education (CHSE) to change the schedule of the Plus II Science Exam-2022.
The schedule was released by the CHSE on March 24. However, many students raised objections over the schedule due to less gap between exam days.
Taking the grievances of the students into consideration, the Minister directed the CHSE to make necessary changes in the schedule.
Dash informed that students of as many as 1,586 higher secondary schools will appear for the Annual Higher Secondary Exams this year. The examinations will be conducted at 1,148 centres while CCTV cameras will be installed at each centre, the Minister said.
The examinations are scheduled to commence from April 28. More than 3, 20,000 students of Arts, Science, Commerce and Vocational streams will appear for the examinations. In view of the Covid-19 situation, the State Government has decided to take some ‘sympathetic’ steps pertaining to the examinations.
