TSBIE relaxes one minute late norm for ongoing Intermediate exams

Asking students to reach their respective centres by 8.45 am, the BIE said students who reach late after 9 am would be given a five minutes grace period.

It asked district officials and chief superintendents of the centres to permit a grace period for students if they reach the centre late due to specific reasons.

The IPE that began on February 28 is being conducted from 9 am to 12 noon. Students are allowed into the centre one-hour prior



to the examination and they are instructed to occupy their seats by 8.45 am.

A total of 22,394 intermediate first year students missed the English paper-I examination on Friday. Out of 5,00,936 students who registered 4,80,542 appeared for the examination during which four malpractice cases with three in Karimnagar and one Nizamabad were booked.

Meanwhile, the TSBIE will hold spot evaluation camps for the IPE in four phases commencing March 4.
