The examinations were supposed to begin on November 4, but could not be held because of the opposition’s shutdowns. The tests began on November 7 with more than 19 lakh class-VIII students from the country’s 27,748 schools and madrasas taking them. Some 10,07,655 girls and 8,95,091 boys had registered to sit for the exams this year.
But the authorities had to struggle to hold the exams for political turmoil centring on the upcoming national elections. A number of examinations had been rescheduled and the authorities had to hold the exams at the weekends to complete the tests.
Eight general education boards and one madrasa board conducted the examinations, which were held at 2,420 centres.
