“While writing the examination, the students should maintain a distance of at least one meter from one another. The students should cover their noses and mouths while coughing and sneezing, ” the Department stated in the guidelines.

“Students should not shake their hands with or embrace other students. Don’t touch any part of the examination hall unnecessarily. Also, every student should carry his or her own water bottle and lunch box,” the statement further added.
