In addition, in every district, a committee under the leadership of the collector has been formed. Members of the Board and education officers will also pay surprise visits at examination centres to control cheating and identify bogus candidates. These officers can even make a video of the on-going examination.
In order to make the students calm and stress-free, the State Education Department has released helpline numbers and appointed 10 qualified counsellors to solve the anxiety of the students.
C. A. Vidyadhar Joshi, Principal, V.G. Vaze Kelkar College told Home Times, “There is not much difference in the examination pattern as compared to last year. But, this year, the Education Department has made many facilities and taken good care of the students’ needs. Like last year, mobiles have been disallowed in the examination halls. Even keeping mobiles ‘switched off’ is not allowed.”
The HSC examination that began on February 21 will conclude on March 20, 2019.
