“Despite the Covid outbreak last year, we conducted the examination in 392 centres while adhering to all safety regulations. We had also increased the number of examination centres to help students avoid cross district travel. The examination was conducted in two shifts, and drew nearly 60000 students in 2020,” says P. Muralidhar, CEO, ERA Foundation.
He further adds, “This year, we have upgraded our safety standards to ensure that each centre is fully sanitised, and will accommodate only 50 percent seating to ensure social distancing. The number of centres has also been increased from 392 to 400 plus across 150 cities, thereby, limiting and reducing student travel. The exam will be conducted in two sessions, one beginning at 09:00 a.m. and ending at 12:00 p.m., and the other from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.”
