Bihar Board Exam 2018
In a bid to stop cheating, the Bihar School Examination Board will not allow students to wear shoes and socks.
While 17.70 lakh students will be writing the examinations at 1,426 centres, the board will conduct the exams from February 21 to 28 February.
“Students cannot wear shoes and socks to examination centres. Such practice has already been in place in some competitive examinations. Students can wear slippers. All district education officers and examination centre superintendents have been instructed to follow the board’s order,” said BSEB chairman Anand Kishor.
However, Veer Kunwar Singh University in Bihar has recently cancelled its BA Part II examination held at Veer Kunwar Singh College at Ara following reports of mass cheating.
A picture of hundreds of examinees sitting on the floor of the college verandah with books and notes to write their examination had gone viral on the social media.
