Ensure smooth conduct of September 25 exam, admin urged

LUDHIANA: On the second day of CBSE compartment exams, many Class X students appeared for science paper on Wednesday. At BCM Arya Model Senior Secondary School, Shastri Nagar, as many as 102 students were registered and 98 appeared for the exam while at St Thomas School, Brown Road, 80 students were registered and all were present. The exam was moderate and students were able to solve the paper within the given time. Manav Gupta, one of the students from Shivalik Wala Doon School and appeared for the exams at BCM Arya Model Senior Secondary School, said , “ I found the paper to be very tough and was not able to complete the paper on time.” However, another student Nitika Kumari from Nankana Sahib Public School, who expects to get over 60 marks, said, “The exam went well and it was easy. Few questions were repeated and all Covid-19 precautions were taken at the exam centre by the authorities concerned.” Principal of Nankana School Harmeet Waraich, who was supervising at St Thomas School, said, “As 80 students of Class X appeared for the exam, we sent the students of the first room after ringing one bell and two bells for students sitting in second room. This led to smooth dispersal of students.” She added that the students might face issues on September 25 due to Punjab Bandh by farmers against new farm Bills and maximum students would appear that day for mathematics exam. Waraich said, “The administration should make arrangements so that students can commute freely as all entry points will be sealed. The students have to come from city outskirts like Andlu, Sahnewal, Sekhewal and Samrala. At my centre, over 95 students will be appearing that day.” Principal of DAV School, BRS Nagar JK Sidhu said, “No guidelines have been issued by the CBSE yet. In fact, students registered for painting and science exam, which would be conducted on Thursday, are less and those appearing on Friday are more in number. They should not face any issues.”
