Taking care
As many as seven examination centres have been declared as sensitive centres. And among them, private candidates will be appearing for their examinations in five such centres. The two examination centres at the Girls Government Pre-University College, the Bapuji School, Samaikhya School and Al-Ameen BEd College have been declared as sensitive centres.
The Government Pre-Univerity College at Thayalooru village and the Varasiddhi Vinayaka High School at Nangali village of Mulbagal taluk have also been identified as very sensitive centres. Since these two examination centres are located in the residential areas, there are more chances of malpractices during examinations.
Hence, the Police Department has been requested to deploy more personnel around these centres, informed Examination Nodal Officer A N Nagendra Prasad.
The examinations will be conducted amid strict vigilence and obesrvations. There will be no scope for malpractices and measures will be taken for the smooth conduct of the examinations, he added.
The officer said in order to improve the percentage of the students and also, to improve the students who are lagging in their studies, several programmes have been introduced by the Government, apart from opening of night schools. Also, meetings of the head masters are being held and preliminary meetings for the conduct of examinations are being held.
Prominence is being given to such schools which have scored very less marks in the SSLC examinations, Nagendra Prasad added.
