The Mumbai division of the state board has saved the academic year of seven HSC students, who were in distress. While three diabetic students and two with neurological ailments were worried that they won’t be able to give the exam, forms of two others were withdrawn by the school for low attendance. Seeing their 16-year-old child anxious a day before the first paper, the parents approached the Mumbai division of Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE), seeking help.
“The boy, who needed to use an insulin pump during the exam, was worried that he wouldn’t be able to finish in time. The counsellors and officials encouraged him to appear in the exam and allowed an additional 30 minutes,” said Nitin Upasani, chairman, Mumbai division, MSBSHSE. Two other students were helped similarly. All three of them were allowed to give their papers from a separate room at their respective centres and carry eatables, Upasani told mid-day.
