Bengaluru: After last year’s chaos caused due to the paper leak during the II PUC exams, this year’s exam began on a smooth note across the state on Thursday with students answering Biology and History papers.

Heavy security was put in place at all centers to prevent any untoward incident.

The Department of Pre-University Education (DPUE) keeping in mind last year’s paper leak, this year prevented students from answering exams in their own colleges.

Meanwhile, it is said that some of the students arrived late while some forgot to bring ID cards and such students were excused as it was the first day; however, Director of DPUE Shikha said that students would not be excused during other exams.

Centers had put up notices that no gadgets and phones would be allowed in the exams hall and that students were under surveillance; however, contrary to a statement issued on Wednesday by Tanveer Sait, Minister for Primary and Secondary Education, a few photocopy shops in and around exam centers in Malleswaram and Rajajinagar were found open.

When questioned, they said that that it was their daily bread and that they would not shut down the shop. Director Shikha assured of necessary action in this regard.

There were also incidents of malpractice reported from Kalaburagi and Davangere. Meanwhile, there were rumours that the Biology paper had leaked, but Shikha dismissed the rumours.

Students will answer Electronics and Computer Science papers on Friday.
