Bhubaneswar: The annual High School Certificate (HSC) Examinations conducted by the Board of Secondary Education (BSE), commenced today.
As per reports, a total of 5,12,437 students are appearing for the exams at 3,029 centres across 30 districts of the state. The board examinations began at 9:00 AM and will conclude at 11:30 AM.
The BSE has made extensive arrangements to ensure the smooth conduct of the exams. To prevent cheating, the BSE has implemented a four-tier squad system and installed CCTV cameras at all exam centres. Additionally, live streaming facilities have been arranged at around 600 centres as part of the board’s measures to prevent malpractice during examination.
To prevent question paper leaks, QR codes have been embedded on each page, along with serial numbers next to each question. This will enable authorities to track the source of any leaked question papers.
