Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB) will conduct SSC and HSC exams from March 13. Nearly 17 lakh students will take their board exams-the main papers of which will conclude on March 26.
Like last year, the board has granted holidays between major papers for students to prepare better. Students of SSC will get a holiday before science and maths exams while HSC students will also get time before key papers.
Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) class 10 and class 12 exams will begin on March 1, 2014. Where class X exams begin with 'easier' exams like Marathi, Spanish, painting etc, class XII's begin with the English examination. The exams for class X will end by March 19, and class XII will finish on April 17.
Board officials said 9.75 lakh students will take the SSC exam. The exams will be held at 780 exam centres-22 of which are new ones this year.
For the HSC general stream, 5.08 lakh students will take the exams. Seating arrangements have been made at 367 exam centres.
In HSC (science), 1.17 lakh students will appear for the fourth and final semester of HSC while 1.21 lakh students will appear for the second semester science exams. These arrangements have been made in 110 centers.
Board chairman R R Varsani said that three video conferences have been conducted for smooth arrangements of exams. Special directives have been sent to DEOs that arrangements should be made to avoid copying, which includes preventing parents from forming groups and standing outside exam centres.
"Since half of the exam paper is based on multiple choice questions, the focus is to prevent mass copying. Centres have been prevailed upon to install CCTV cameras and videography will be done in sensitive centres. Footage from CCTVs will be sent to the board where officials will personally examine them and try to curb copying," said Varsani.
