CBSE Class 10 Term 1 Board Exams 2021-22: Important guidelines
Students must remember that their Class 10 admit cards are a mandatory document to be carried to the exam hall. If any student fails to produce the admit card on the day of the exam, they shall not be allowed to sit for the exam.
All students are advised to reach the exam hall at least 1 hour prior to the commencement of the exam i.e., by 10:30 am.
All candidates must note that CBSE prohibits the carrying and use of any electronic devices during the board exams. Hence, they must comply with this rule or strict action will be taken against any student who is found guilty.
All COVID-19 safety protocols are to be followed compulsorily. Hence, students must ensure that they wear masks throughout the exams and maintain social distancing to remain safe.
All students must carry a blue/black ball point pen as they would be needing it to mark answers in the demystifying OMR sheet.
Students must make sure that they mark the correct option (A, B, C or D in the box). This is because CBSE will only consider the answers filled in the boxes as the final answer of students.
Students must note that if students will not fill any of the four circles and fill the answer in the box, it will be considered as an attempted question and answer in the box will be evaluated. If both circles and box are empty then the question will be considered as unattempted.
In case a candidate darkens the wrong circle in the CBSE term 1 OMR sheet, they can fill in the correct answer in the box provided ahead of the four circles.
