  • Question papers left out after distribution to the candidates be repacked again and be kept safely soon the examination has started.
  • No question paper be given to concerned subject teachers for observations.
  • No question paper will be kept for library etc. as these question papers will be hosted on web after examinations are over. This implies that the sum of the question papers distributed to the students and packed should be equal to total question papers supplied to the school.
