Hundreds of students who are appearing in the bi-annual examination being conducted by the Board of School Education (BOSE) today missed their papers as the roads remained blocked due to the heavy snow fall across the valley.
While the Board authorities maintain that they have achieved success in conducting the examinations amid the heavy snowfall, the candidates and the parents questioned the wisdom of the former of conducting the same at a time when the life was completely at halt.
Dozens of candidates talking to Kashmir Times over phone said they missed their papers as they could not make it to their examination centres due to the blockade of the roads in their respective areas.
"It was almost snowing till afternoon and all the main and the link roads had got blocked overnight. It was not possible for us to even come out of our homes not to talk of making it to the examination centres. It is surprising that the Board authorities kept on conducting the examinations in such a chaotic situation," said the students
from south Kashmir.
A parent of a candidate said it is totally unwise on part of authorities to conduct the examination in such crisis without bothering about the career of scores of
candidates.
Claiming that they have achieved success in conducting the examinations amid the heavy snowfall, chairman, BOSE, Dr Sheikh Bashir said,"
Conducting examinations in such a situation should not be criticised but taken as a success as out of thousands of students only few have missed."
He, however, assured that they will go for the re-examination of all those candidates who missed their papers.
