Odisha 10th Board Exam 2021: To help students preparing for the Odisha 10th Exams 2021, the Odisha government has announced that it will provide an exam guide book free of cost to all of them. The announcement was made by School and Mass Education Minister S R Dash. "The state government will distribute free of cost 'Pariksha Darpan' (exam guide) book to all the 6,20,508 students who will appear in the annual matriculation (Class 10) examination," the minister said.

'Parikshya Darpan', a 700-page guide book will help students to prepare for the upcoming crucial board examination. "In order to reduce the stress of the students, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik had asked the department to help candidates," the minister said.

The state government had earlier reduced the BSE Odisha Syllabus as well as the CHSE Odisha Syllabus earlier by 30 per cent.

This year, the BSE Odisha Class 10 or HSC exams will be conducted from May 3 to 15, rather than in March, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. Earlier, the Chief Minister also announced a waiver of examination fees for the Class 10th Exam, considering the hardship faced by the people across the state due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The state government will bear Rs 27 crore towards examination fee waiver. Each candidate appearing in the annual high school certificate examination was supposed to pay Rs 420 for filling up the forms.

The detailed BSE Odisha HSC Time Table as well as CHSE Odisha Plus Two Time Table 2021 is expected to be released soon.
