The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is set to begin its second board examination for Class 10 students in Nagpur, Maharashtra, starting May 15, with exams scheduled from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM. This timing coincides with extreme summer heat, where temperatures can soar above 45 degrees Celsius. Students have voiced their concerns regarding the impact of such conditions on their performance, citing discomfort and past instances of fainting during exams. While the exams are optional for those wishing to improve their scores in subjects like Science, Mathematics, and Social Science, teachers and staff must report regardless of student attendance. Parents have called for schools to provide essential facilities, including uninterrupted electricity and medical support, to ensure a safe environment. Some parents believe that adapting to adverse conditions can build resilience in students, but they stress that safety should remain a priority.
