Barring the sudden death of a girl student in T. Narsipur near here, SSLC examinations began on a smooth note in Mysuru on Monday with Education Department officials claiming that all the students adhered to the State Government’s directions on wearing of uniform.
Deputy Director of Public Instruction, Mysuru, Ramachandra Raje Urs, said there were no instances of students boycotting the examinations over hijab. “The students who arrived for the examination centres wearing the hijab obliged the officials by removing the same before entering the examination hall. After finishing the examinations, they wore the hijab and returned home”, he said.
There were no reports of students protesting against the rules on hijab and returning without appearing for the examinations. The examinations were conducted “very smoothly” across the district, said Mr. Urs.
