According to BSEB chairman Anand Kishore, prohibitory orders under section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure will remain in force on all days and no unauthorized person will be allowed to enter the centres.

The examinees will not carry any calculator, cellphone, bluetooth, earphone or electronic gadget to the examination hall.

“If a student’s admit card is lost, he may be allowed to write the examination after proving his identity with the helped of the scanned photograph on the attendance sheet,” the BSEB chairman said.
He added, “There will be 10 sets of question papers — A to J — in each subject.

Answer books and OMR sheets will be handed over to the examinees simultaneously, but the latter collected earlier.

Both will bear pre-printed details and photographs of the students.”
