A day of horror for Inter students

Posted On: 11/03/2011 Updated On:

Hyderabad: The promised buses for students appearing for Intermediate examinations never showed up on Thursday. Students were left to fend for themselves though Board of Intermediate Education (BIE) officials had grandly announced two weeks ago that special buses would ply to ferry them to and fro their examination centres.

BIE officials had announced that 185 APSRTC buses would ply on Thursday to ferry students to their exam centres. Students complained that they were forced to travel for over two hours in peak traffic to reach their exam centres. “The police did not allow us to enter the restricted areas near Necklace Road even after we showed them our hall tickets. We reached the exam hall 15 minutes late and were worried that we wouldn’t be able to answer all the questions,” said a student at Mahbubia College.

It was a forgettable experience for students of 32 exam venues located in the restricted area as they were kept waiting at police barricades at Punjagutta and Khairatabad. “Four students who came along with their parents were reportedly forced to wait for an hour at Khairatabad as police officials prevented them from passing through the area,” BIE sources said. The parents later lodged a complaint with BIE officials on the incident.

Many parents were seen waiting for their wards to finish their exam to take them back home lest they would be stranded again on the way home. “Some parents even arranged cabs to take students back home from the exam centres,” said N Ratnakar, regional inspection officer (RIO), Ranga Reddy. Some students who were stranded at Secretariat due to a traffic jam were taken to their examination centres by the RIO, Hyderabad.

BIE officials said that the ‘Million March’ did not affect the turnout of students in Ranga Reddy and Hyderabad. “Only 2.34 percent of the 77,000 students in RR district did not turn up for the exam. In Hyderabad, 3.3 per cent students were absent,” said G Balaramaiah, secretary, BIE.

The English Paper II was held as scheduled across the state on Thursday. The BIE officials in a press release said that two impersonation cases were reported in Ranga Reddy and Warangal on Thursday.

The officials also said that flying sqauds shut down photostat centres in Viziayanagaram district as news about a question paper leak was reported. Meanwhile, CBSE and ICSE schools arranged transport for students in view of the protest call.
