“The exam material has been dispatched to all the examination centres. Admit cards have been downloaded by all schools. Full-time observers will be appointed at sensitive centres by the Board,” a senior CBSE official had said.
“The sealed question paper packets will be opened in the presence of at least four Assistant Superintendents- one of them would be from a school other than the examination centre, as a witness. The state law-enforcing agencies have also been requested to provide adequate police force at the place of custody of question papers and the examination centres,” the official said.
