Kerala SSLC exams are being conducted between April 8 and April 29 while Kerala 12th examinations are scheduled from April 8 till April 26.

Kerala Pareeksha Bhavan has begun with the Kerala SSLC and Kerala 12th examinations 2021 from April 8 in offline mode while adhering to strict COVID19 health protocols. Nearly nine lakh students are appearing for the exams across over 4,951 centres. Of these, 4,46,471 students will attend the plus two exam and 4,22,226 regular students and 990 private candidates will appear for the SSLC examinations.

The Kerala SSLC exams 2021 will be held till April 29 while the Kerala plus two exams 2021 are scheduled to be conducted from April 8 to 26.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan wished the students in the state who are appearing for the exams and advised them to follow safety protocols. “SSLC and +2 examinations are starting. Request all the students to follow the #COVID19 protocol so that you, your friends, teacher, and family stay safe. Best wishes to each and every one of you. May you all succeed,” Vijayan tweeted.

The plus two examinations began at 9.30 am and the SSLC examination commenced in the afternoon session at 1.30 pm. The VHSE examinations will begin on Friday.

On March 11 this year, the Election Commission of India permitted the Kerala government to postpone the 10th and 12th standard school examinations to April 8, in view of the state assembly polls which were held on April 6. The state had sought postponement of the SSLC and HSC examinations, which were to commence from March 17, as teachers had been put on poll duty and classrooms were to be used for polling purposes.

The authorities have made strict arrangements for implementing the COVID19 health protocol. Students are screened using thermal scanners for body temperature and in case of any variation, they will be given a separate room to take the exam. Handwash, sanitizers, masks have been made available for students, teachers, and other staff.

Instructions have been issued to ensure that students wear masks, carried sanitizers, and maintain social distancing. They have also been instructed not to share stationery with others.
