The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) has revised its dress code guidelines for the upcoming class 12 board exams in response to cold weather conditions. In a recent notice issued to students, parents, and exam centre authorities, the board has allowed students to wear shoes and socks during the exams scheduled between February 1 and 5, 2025. This is a change from the earlier directive, which had prohibited footwear inside the examination hall.
The BSEB has stated that the decision regarding shoes and socks will be reviewed after February 5, 2025, and necessary actions will be taken accordingly.
