Second pre-university exams began across Karnataka on April 22. As many as 6,84,255 students have registered for the exams. While the shadow of Covid-19 pandemic loomed large over the last two years, this year, students are appearing for the exams in a more cheerful atmosphere. In fact, with cases of COVID-19 coming down, it will not be mandatory for students appearing for the exams to produce a vaccination certificate before entering the examination hall.
However, as per the standard protocol, social distancing, hand sanitising, and other COVID-19-appropriate behaviour are being followed. No student with COVID-19 infection has approached the department with a request for special facility to appear for the exam.
