Matric Exam confusion continues in Odisha

Updated on: Wednesday, March 28, 2012

The Board of Secondary Education authorities in Odisha are yet to fix fresh dates for the matric examinations that were suspended owing to leakage of some question papers , which became a cause of anxiety among teachers and parents of nearly five lakh examinees.

BSE President Satyakam Mishra said, "We are working to fix a fresh time-table of the examinations and after that it would be sent to the government for endorsement."

The BSE authorities had informed that the exams would resume after 20 days. It appears unlikely that the exams would resume in the third week of April as announced, causing anxiety among teachers, parents and students.

The ongoing matriculation examination for regular stream students were suspended after it was found that some question papers of the remaining subjects were stolen from an examination centre in Puri.

Demanding the exams be held at the earliest, members of All India Democratic Students' Union, staged a protest meeting in front of the Board office here.
 
Meanwhile, the state crime branch police, is yet to make any headway in its investigation.
