NIN365 Desk, Kolkata : The schedule for the higher secondary examinations in the state has undergone a significant change. While the routine for the exams remained unchanged, the starting time has been shifted. Previously, the exams were set to begin at 12:00 PM and conclude by 3:15 PM, but the revised schedule now indicates that exams will commence much earlier, starting at 9:45 AM and extending until 1:00 PM.
This alteration also applies to vocational subjects, visual arts, music, health, and physical education exams, all of which will start at 9:45 AM and end by 11:45 AM daily. The decision to make this change has not been officially communicated by the Higher Secondary Education Council. However, according to parliamentary sources, it was implemented to facilitate the convenience of the examinees.
While some welcome the decision as a positive move for the well-being of the students, there are others who criticize the sudden shift without apparent reasons. The general secretary of the Education Enthusiasts’ Forum, KinKar Adhikari, questions the necessity of this sudden change, stating, “There is no known reason for the reallocation of the higher secondary exam time from 12:00 PM to 3:15 PM, as per the previous schedule. So why this abrupt alteration?”
He further argues that advancing the exam time might inconvenience students, disrupting their study routine and limiting their preparation time before the exams. The change has sparked discussions within the education community, with varied opinions on whether it truly serves the students’ best interests.
As the decision awaits more comprehensive feedback and discussions, it reflects the ongoing dialogue about balancing the needs of students and the requirements of the examination system.
Conclusion ; In a surprising twist, the higher secondary exams in the state have embraced a new rhythm, orchestrating a symphony of change. While the exam routine retained its familiar notes, the melody began much earlier, echoing through exam halls from 9:45 AM to 1:00 PM. This harmonious adjustment, not officially orchestrated by the Higher Secondary Education Council, intends to compose a cadence of convenience for the examinees.
Vocational subjects, visual arts, music, health, and physical education joined this melodious shift, tuning into the early morning crescendo. The decision, though welcomed by some as a sonata of student welfare, faces a dissonant chorus questioning its sudden crescendo. As the education community contemplates the rhythm of change, the students find themselves dancing to a new beat, preparing for exams under the spotlight of a dawn-turned-daytime performance.
