The quality inspection committee recommended conducting the SSLC exams, 2018, during the morning as against the usual practice of afternoon exams. Usually, SSLC exams are conducted in the afternoon while exams of Higher Secondary students will be held in the morning.

Earlier, exams were held in the afternoon as the question papers were kept in safe lockers in the bank. It cannot be accessed till the bank opens in the morning and transporting time was also required. The new recommendation is to keep the question papers under safe custody in the schools itself.

The committee has also recommended a 'Question Bank' to which students can send questions. These recommendations will be considered while preparing question papers for the exam.

Usually, State Council Educational Research and Training (SCERT) conducts a workshop to prepare the question paper. A final decision on the recommendations will be taken by the government.
