The students were early in the morning seen heading to their respective examination centres, where all the necessary arrangements were put in place by the school management.
“I am happy and equally excited to write the paper today; it is different because until last year, the class 10 exams used to be held in winter and that had its issues; students were not able to write properly and it would take them some time to warm themselves up to be able to start writing the paper; it is altogether different today,” said Mariya, one of the students whose exam centre is at Kothi Bagh Higher Secondary School.
Parents were also seen accompanying the students to their examination centres while scores of parents preferred to stay outside the exam centres and wait till their kids finished writing their papers.
Joint Secretary, Examination for JKBOSE, Hussain Lal told Excelsior that all the necessary arrangements have been put in place to facilitate the students.
The class 10 examination will culminate on April 5 with the Social Science paper which will then start the result declaration waiting period for the students.
