The Collector informed that so far 813 invigilators were appointed for SSC exams.

At each examination centre, square box marks were drawn where the students must sit to follow social distancing. Before the commencement of exams, each and every examination centre will be thoroughly sanitised by the municipal authorities.

Each student will undergo thermal screening before entering the exam centre and District Medical and Health officials concerned will take the responsibility of screening.
