Three days after the Intermediate Public Examination began on February 28, the Board of Intermediate Education (BIE) has decided to give candidates five-minute grace period for entering the centre.
“Intermediate first and second-year candidates should reach the exam centre by 8.45 a.m. Students who are late and arrive after 9 a.m., will be given five-minute grace period,” an official release from the BIE stated on Friday.
The board said that all officials in the district as well as exam centre chief superintendents have been informed, “to allow students to enter with maximum five minutes grace period if they reach the examination centre late due to genuine reasons”.
