How Bihar Plans to Conduct Exams When 3 Lakh Students Face Flood Damage

In the flood-stricken regions, access roads to nearly 3,000 schools are underwater, and boats have become the only mode of transport. Educational authorities aim to set up temporary exam centres in safe locations, but power outages and lack of drinking water complicate preparations. Teachers note that about one-third of the syllabus remains uncovered due to school closures in July and August. The department has urged local officials to make appropriate arrangements so that the examinations can proceed without further harming students' academic progress.
