The exams for School Leaving Certificate (SLC) have begun across the country Thursday. Almost half million students are taking exams from over 1600 exam centres across the country.
The exams began at 8 am, Thursday. Students are taking the exam of compulsory English on the first day of the exams.
The Controller of Examinations (CoE) has deployed special measures to curb cheating in the SLC exams this year. CoE has said, students involved in cheating will be immediately evicted from the exam centre and those helping students to cheat will be booked for public offence.
CoE has also started a provision from this year to reward schools and exam centres with minimum or no cases of cheating.
About 8000 students from 89 open schools are also taking the exam. Students with disabilities will get extra 1.5 hours for a 3 hour exam.
Meanwhile, Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has reduced the load shedding hours by two hours every day in view of the SLC exams. NEA has said, load shedding will be imposed only for 12 hours a day during the exams.
Load shedding hours will be reverted to the present 14 hours a day schedule after the completion of the SLC exams. nepalnews.com
