The first day of Madhyamik on Monday went smoothly despite concerns over a majority of teachers on SIR duty. The state secondary education board cancelled the entire exam of a girl student as she allegedly entered her exam centre in Bankura with a mobile phone. Since last year, the state higher secondary council has been supplying all schools with hand-held metal detectors to maintain vigilance during the higher secondary examination. However, the secondary board has yet to start the practice. He has also reported that a video featuring an examination centre was uploaded without the Board’s consent.
