Grace time for Telangana SSC exams commencing March 21

Students appearing for the SSC Public Examinations, commencing March 21 will be given five minutes of grace time.

The Class X exams will begin at 9.30 am and latecomers will be allowed to enter the centres till 9.35 am only.

“Like last year, students will be given five minutes of grace time for their entry into centres,” said A Krishna Rao, Director Government Examinations.

Except for the first language composite course and science subjects, the exams will be conducted from 9.30 am to 12.30 pm.



The first language composite course exam timing is 9.30 am to 12.50 pm, while the part-I physical science and part-II biological science exams will be held from 9.30 am to 11 am on two separate days.

This time, students will be provided a 24-page answer booklet instead of multiple answer sheets. The booklet will eliminate the need for multiple sheets, ensuring that answers are in a single booklet and reduces the risk of pages getting misplaced with improper tying of the sheets. This move is also aimed at curbing mass copying in the examination halls.
