Examinees came and queued up outside their examination centres long before their exams began. Both, the invigilators and the police were thoroughly checking the examinees. The exams happened in two shifts - 9.30 am and 12.45 pm.

Kishor also conducted surprise visit at the Girls High School, KB Saday High School, Sherulahpur and Ram Lakhan Singh Yadav High School in Punaichak.
In the 74 centres in Patna city, the exams were conducted smoothly, the report added. Further, the board has set up four model examination centres at Girls High School in Shastri Nagar, Bankipur Girls High School, Girls High School, Gardanibagh and Kamala Nehru Girls High School in Yarpur.
