Anxious parents could be seen queuing up outside various examination centres since early this morning. Though the scheduled time for the three-hour examination to begin was 1.30 am, parents preferred to reach the venue of examination well before time to ensure that their wards did last-minute revisions.
Today being the first day of examination, many parents skipped their offices to be with their children to provide the much-needed moral support. Many teachers, too, were present outside the centres to wish their students good luck. At many centres, numerous parents waited till the end of the exam.
Most of the students began the day by paying obeisance at religious places and also, taking the blessings of their teachers. Swati, who took the English paper today, said, “My mother gave me curd to eat before I left home as it is considered auspicious. Then, we both went to the nearby temple.”
As the bell indicated the end of the examination, the anxiety of parents waiting outside the examination centre reached its zenith. It was only after interacting with their wards that they looked satisfied.
An elated parent, Asha Nanda, said, “I was glad to know that the paper was easy and children were happy. I was relaxed when my son told me that he had attempted all questions in the English paper.”
