Board Chairman Bhagirath Shetye said the examinations will be conducted with only 12 students per examination hall and all Covid-19 related SOPs and precautions will be strictly followed.

The Board Chairman also said that ‘isolation centres’ will also be arranged to enable students who have tested positive to answer the examination.
