Postponing the examination is similar to mounting pressure on students. And given the protocols being observed strictly, things are absolutely perfect inside."Another aspirant Harleen Kaur stated, "All the COVID-19 protocols have been maintained stringently. We were asked to stize our hands thrice. Sitting arrangements were also maintained observing proper social distancing."Generally scheduled in April, today's examination started after they were postponed twice earlier following the outbreak of the coronavirus.Muskan said, "I am relieved. The examination finally actually happened. It was good, though I am a little worried about the last answer. Otherwise, the paper was not tough. There were three to four invigilators and gloves and masks were worn throughout the examination."Dipesh Jain, a parent said, "I was extremely worried about my daughter. I was worried that she might lose a year. Postponing the exam or not holding it can never be a solution to the pandemic.
