The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Friday announced that it will prioritise frisking and ticketing of students during the upcoming CBSE Board Exams for class 10 and 12.

The Class 10 and 12 CBSE board exams
The Class 10 and 12 CBSE board exams began on Tuesday, February 17, with over 46 lakh students appearing at over 8,000 centres across the country and abroad.
While the Class 10 exams will conclude on March 10, the Class 12 exams will end on April 9.
The board had cautioned students to reach their examination centres by 10am, taking into account local conditions, traffic, weather, and distance.
Meanwhile, CBSE announced on Monday that appearing in the first Class 10 Board examination is compulsory for all students, and those who miss three or more subjects in the first exam will be ineligible to appear in the second examination. In a letter issued on Saturday, CBSE clarified that attendance for the first examination is mandatory.
It issued the clarification after it received several requests from students regarding their inability to attend the first board examination for various reasons, and they may be allowed to sit for the second examination.
