Higher Secondary examinees
The state higher secondary council on Tuesday cancelled the entire examinations of four students on the charge of entering the exam halls with mobile phones, said the council president. He said the council had cancelled the exams of 32 students for possession of mobile phones till now. The HS exams started on February 16 and will end on February 29.
Chemistry test anxiety grips ISC examinees
ISC (Class XII) examinees in several schools called up their teachers on Tuesday and expressed their worry over whether the next set of questions in chemistry would be tougher.
The teachers are trying to allay their fears, saying their preparations would stand them in good stead. The examinees, the teachers are saying, should treat the “postponement” of the chemistry exam as an opportunity for better revision.
On Monday, the ISC chemistry exam was cancelled barely one-and-a-half-hours before it was to start, leaving thousands of students confused and disturbed.
The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), which conducts the school-leaving exams, later announced that the chemistry test would be held on March 21.
