On June 18^, Thursday, Class 12 exams began and according to media reports over 92,000 students have appeared for the mathematics exams. About 6000 centers were used for the examinations. Thermal screening of all students was done before the examination was started and 2-meter social distancing was also the norm during the exams. Media reports also say that some of the schools were used as COVID-19 centers but they were sanitized 2-3 times before the exams. According to a Times of India report, a senior RBSE official said, “The strength of students is not much in class 12 as it is divided into three streams. We didn’t have any problem with that, but the real challenge will be to conduct an exam for class 10 as over 8 lakh students will appear for the exam on the same day. We have asked teachers to provide all facilities to students and if anyone found unwell should be made to sit separately.” Reports also said that the Board has arranged a provision for students who are unable to attend the examination during this period. If students are unable to attend this one, they can appear for the supplementary exams that will be held in August. Examination for disadvantaged students will be conducted alongside supplementary exams in the state.
