ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳೇ, ಮಾಸ್ಕ್, ಸ್ಯಾನಿಟೈಸರ್ ಗಳನ್ನು ಕಡ್ಡಾಯವಾಗಿ ಬಳಸಿ, ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಗತ ಅಂತರ ಕಾಪಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಿ. ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಪರೀಕ್ಷೆ ನಡೆಸಲು ಹೊರಡಿಸಿರುವ ಮಾರ್ಗಸೂಚಿ ಗಳನ್ನು ಪಾಲಿಸಿ.
ಶೈಕ್ಷಣಿಕ ಜೀವನದ ಮಹತ್ವದ ಘಟ್ಟವಾದ ಪರೀಕ್ಷೆಯನ್ನು ಆತಂಕ & ಭಯವಿಲ್ಲದೆ ಆತ್ಮವಿಶ್ವಾಸದಿಂದ ಎದುರಿಸಿ, ಯಶಸ್ಸು ಪಡೆಯಿರಿ. ಉಜ್ವಲ ಭವಿಷ್ಯ ನಿಮ್ಮದಾಗಲಿ.
No gatherings
The SSLC Board has banned gatherings of people closer than 200 metres from the test centres. Public access to the exam centres is restricted.
Students have to arrive at the exam centres one and a half hours before the test begins, will be thermally screened before entry and will have to wear masks. Social distancing will have to be maintained by students and handshakes, hugging, etc., are prohibited. In addition, the windows at the test centres and metal objects like stair railings should not be touched.
Meanwhile, parents and opposition parties continue to oppose the holding of the exams. One particular tweet about the ‘cancellation’ of the exams was trending on social media on Wednesday.

Former CM H D Kumaraswamy has said that the state government should immediately withdraw the decision to conduct the SSLC exams. He said the government will be held accountable if students’ health is compromised, and suggested that the government can hold the exams after October.
