Speaking to The Indian Express, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma said, “It is certainly a massive task considering the number of students who will appear for the exams, but all arrangements have been made following Covid guidelines and protocols.”
Sharma added the government has increased the number of examination centres by 10 per cent as compared to the previous years. The schedule has been prepared in a way that all high school exams are completed in just 12 days and Intermediate tests in 15 days.
Asked if some students might have to take two exams in a day, he said the schedule has been fixed in such a way that chances are rare.
Nearly 56 lakh students – nearly 30 lakh from high schools and 26 lakh from intermediate – will appear for the exams. Among them, nearly 14 lakh are girl students.
