Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education (MPBSE) will start the Class 12 board exams on Tuesday, February 25.
The first paper will be Hindi, and the exam will take place from 9 AM to 12 PM. The Class 10 board exams will begin on February 27, with Hindi as the first paper.
The board has issued necessary guidelines to ensure smooth and fair exams.
Honesty Box!
A unique initiative called the "Honesty Box" has been introduced at exam centers. A metal box will be placed outside each center, where students can voluntarily drop any cheating materials, such as guides or small notes, before entering the exam hall.
The box will have a clear message stating its purpose. If a student is caught with such materials inside the exam hall, strict action will be taken under the exam rules.
This year, 9,53,777 students will appear for the Class 10 exams, while 7,06,475 students will take the Class 12 exams.
In total, 16,60,252 students will sit for the board exams across 3,887 centers in the state. To maintain discipline and prevent cheating, the board has introduced strict rules.
To prevent cheating, special arrangements have been made. If the stitching of a student's answer sheet is found open, it will be considered cheating, and action will be taken.
Important Guidelines
