The tenth-grade board exams started on Friday at 9:30 AM across 36 centres in Wanaparthy district. District Collector Adarsh Surabhi visited the government girls’ and boys’ high schools to check the arrangements.
During his visit, he inspected the security measures, temporary medical centres, and drinking water facilities to ensure students had a comfortable environment. He also checked whether a CCTV camera was installed in the hall where the question papers were being opened by the superintendent.
The collector instructed that students must reach the exam centres before the exam begins. He also emphasized that no one, including the flying squad and invigilators, is allowed to carry a mobile phone inside the exam centre. All mobile phones must be left outside before entering the premises.
According to DEO Mohammad Abdul Ghani, 6,853 students were expected to take the exam, but 6,842 students attended, while 11 were absent. Local tahsildar Ramesh Reddy accompanied the collector during the inspection.
