Students are prohibited from using saliva for turning pages or separating answer sheets, while staff and examinees from containment zones will not be allowed physically at the exam centres, as per the Union Health Ministry's latest guidelines on conducting examinations amid the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. The guidelines stated that for staff and examinees from containment zones there will be alternative arrangements. Such students shall be given an opportunity to take the exam through other means or educational institutions shall arrange their papers at a later date. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) gave out the standard operating procedures (SOP) to be followed while conducting examinations amid the pandemic.
The guidelines comee days after the Supreme Court ruled on August 28 directing that states and universities cannot promote students without holding final-year examinations by September 30. These guidelines include maintaining physical distancing of at least 6 feet as far as feasible, mandatory use of face covers/masks, frequent hand-washing with soap (for at least 40-60 seconds) and use of alcohol-based hand sanitisers (for at least 20 seconds) wherever feasible.
