While the Punjab School Education Board has postponed the exams of Classes X and XII, students of Classes 6, 7 and 9 appeared for their first exam held in their respective schools.
While the students of Classes 6 and 7 appeared for their exams in the morning session from 9 am to 12 pm, those from Classes 7 and 9 took exams in the second session from 12.20 pm to 3.20 pm. The exams were held in two sessions to space out students properly during the conduct of papers amid rising cases of coronavirus in the state.
Meanwhile, the exams of Classes 5 and 8 are to start from March 22, for which the board is yet to issue the list of centres and the admit cards to its students. The exams for these classes are held in centres set up in other schools.
Since the schools had been kept off for the last two days, students had been intimated about the conduct of paper in two sessions through voice messages sent to the students. Those without smartphones had to be communicated about the timings by the teachers by making calls to their parents.
