MSBSHSE Exam Day Guidelines 2022
Given below are the exam guidelines for the MSBSHSE HSC board exam 2022. Students who are going to appear for the exam can take a look at these important instructions.
Home Centre: Students will sit for their written exams in the school/college they study in. A familiar environment and a home center’ will help them feel better & will also reduce travel.
Extra time to write answers: As our students may have lost practice of time-bound writing of answer sheets, we have decided to give them more time to finish exams. An extra time of 30 minutes will be given for a 70 to 100 marks paper & 15 minutes for a 40 to 60 marks paper. Students will also be given time to prepare their strategy for writing the papers, as question papers will be given 10 minutes before the starting bell.
Compensatory time for students with disabilities: A minimum additional time of 20 minutes per hour of examination will be provided as a compensatory time to students with benchmark disabilities. This will be over and above the extra time mentioned earlier. All examination centers will be made accessible to differently abled students & all prevalent concessions applicable to differently-abled students will be provided.
Rationalized syllabus: Owing to pandemic-related disruptions, the curriculum was earlier cut by 25%. Students are assured that exam questions will be asked from the remaining 75% syllabus.
Practical exams: During our deliberations with schools/junior colleges and teachers, it was brought to our notice that due to Covid-19 curbs, many schools & colleges have not been able to teach the scheduled number of practicals. Therefore, students will get concession here.
For Std. 12th, practicals are an important stepping stone for future courses. But given the situation, schools/junior colleges will conduct these exams based on 40% of the subject wise syllabus for practicals or the number of finished experiments, whichever is more.
For Std. 10th, like in Std. 12, schools will similarly conduct practical exams based on 40% of the subject-wise syllabus for practical or the number of finished experiments, whichever is more. In cases where it is not possible to conduct practical exams owing to Covid-19 restrictions, assessments can be done through written assignments.
Within the 40% cap, schools/colleges will have the flexibility to choose the experiments for the exams. Examiners (internal & external) will be provided by the same school/college. To avoid crowding, exams/submissions will be done batch-wise under strict safety protocols.
Special provisions: If any child falls sick or misses out on practicals, grade/orals or internal assessment due to unavoidable reasons, he/she will be given another chance for the same post the written exams, in the case of both Std. 12th and Std. 10th. No separate fees will be payable.
Reaching the exam center: In order to ensure full compliance and observance of Covid protocols, students will have to reach their respective exam center at least an hour before the designated exam time.
