MUMBAI: As many as 60 Class X students of a CBSE school in Malad have been allotted centre for the first-semester board examinations in Parel, a distance of around 25 km.
The students will have to travel to the KMS English School in Parel for the first-semester board exams. While minor papers have commenced from November 16 and 17 for Classes 12 and 10, the major papers will begin from November 30 and December 1 for Classes 10 and 12.
Parents of the Billabong High International School students have written to the CBSE regional office in Pune for a change of centre.
“To travel 25-30 km during exams is insane in Mumbai’s traffic,” said a parent.
A school spokesperson said they have spoken to the CBSE authorities who assured them that the centre would be changed to INS Hamla in Malad. The admit cards with the changed centre would be issued by Monday., the spokesperson said.
