Such students are also required to apply officially to the Board, stating the subject(s) which they intend to appear, along with a photocopy of their admit card. The students’ applications should be forwarded by the respective Centre Superintendent of the Examination Centres of HSLC/HSSLC 2021.
As for the HSLC examination, the application should be submitted by April 28, and for the HSSLC examination, the application should be submitted by May 5.
All centre superintendents and institution heads have been directed to disseminate the information to students who fall under the category.
The NBSE stated that this is a one-time measure to ensure that the candidates are not deprived of appearing in the HSLC and HSSLC examination for the current year.
It assured that the one-time examination would be conducted strictly adhering to the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) issued by the government for the conduct of the examination.
