About 7.54 lakh students are included in the second shift. 1699 examination centers have been set up across the state. Today is the second day of the exam and there is Mathematics paper in both the shifts.
Dress code and strict instructions
The board has banned coming wearing shoes and socks. This rule has been implemented to simplify security checks. Failure to follow the rules may result in difficulty in admission.
The administration has appealed to reach before time. 70 examination centers have been set up in the capital Patna. Special facilities and women personnel have been deployed at four model centres.
Students reached many places by climbing walls
On the first day, students who arrived late in many districts tried to enter by jumping over the wall. In Patna's Miller School, a student jumped from a 10 feet high wall. Such cases were also reported in Buxar and Begusarai.
In Gopalganj and Munger also students tried to break the rules. The security personnel threw them out. The administration has said that human sensitivity should be strictly observed.
Suicide is not the solution to the problem
Life is precious, suicide cannot be the solution to any problem. Failure in examination, financial pressure, family stress or any kind of disappointment should not be a reason to end life. There is a way out of every difficulty, you just need patience and right guidance.
Do share your thoughts with your parents, friends or teachers. If needed, take help of a counselor or helpline. One test or one incident does not decide the whole life. Times change, circumstances improve. Have courage, believe in yourself, there is a solution to every problem, nothing is bigger than life.
