Bhubaneswar: A day ahead of the Class 12 board exam conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), students have been advised to follow some instructions for smooth conduct of the exam.
The board has asked students to report at the examination centres before 10 am on exam days. For security reasons, students have been asked to wear uniforms during the examination. They have been strictly asked not to appear at the test centre wearing casual dress.
