With Stds X and XII board examinations around the corner, the Maharashtra State Board has clarified administrative procedures for exam day. Earlier, the board had proposed a ‘centre exchange’ system, where invigilators from one school would oversee exams at another centre to ensure a copy-free environment. Now, exchanges will happen only at centres which currently don’t have the necessary CCTV surveillance.

The decision follows concerns raised by teachers and principals’ association members, who said sending educators to unfamiliar schools for supervision could be impractical. Many also highlighted the strain of commuting, particularly when they have lectures to conduct after their board duties.
