BSE Odisha Class 10 Half Yearly Exams 2024: Board Asks Schools To Prepare Own Question Papers

The Board of Secondary Education (BSE), Odisha has announced that schools will be responsible for preparing question papers for the Class-10 half-yearly exams in the 2024-25 academic session. Unlike the previous year (2023-24), when the BSE supplied question papers, schools will now have the flexibility to create their own or make alternative arrangements.

In a letter to all District Education Officers (DEOs), the BSE Secretary addressed confusion regarding the upcoming exams. The BSE has instructed DEOs to inform all schools in their districts about this change to ensure the exams proceed smoothly.

The board clarified, “The question papers for the said examination for last year i.e., during 2023-24 had been prepared & supplied to the District Education Office point by the B.S.E., Odisha. However, the question papers for the current session shall not be supplied by the Board. All secondary schools are free to prepare their question papers or make necessary arrangements for the conduct of the examination within the time period as mentioned in the breakup of the syllabus notified by the Board.”
