The Board of Secondary Education (BSE), Odisha, which conducts the Class 10 examinations for Odia medium students, has decided to hold this year바카라™s matriculation examinations between March 10 and March 17.
  Â
Over six lakh students will appear in the matriculation examination this year in regular, ex-regular, madhyama (Sanskrit), and Open School Certificate streams.
  Â
Under the new pattern, the BSE is now conducting a total of six assessments for Class 10 students in a year, which includes four formative assessments (FAs) and two summative assessments (SAs).
  Â
While the students have already appeared FA-I, FA-II, and SA-I, they are now appearing FA-III and will appear FA-IV in February, informed BSE President Ramashis Hajra on Thursday.
  Â
He said the final examination for the Class 10 students to be held from March 10 to March 17 will be known as Summative Assessment II (SA-II).
  Â
"Fixed percentage of marks drawn from all the six assessment tests will add up to arrive at the final result of a student", he said.
  Â
Bringing massive relief for both students and their parents, the board also on the day announced that the SA-II would be held at the same examination centres where the students wrote their SA-I papers held in November last year.
  Â
The board has also decided to retain the pattern of questions for the SA-II as that of SA-I, Hajra said.
