The board has allowed a five minute grace period. Students arriving up to 9.05 am will still be permitted inside the exam hall. Entry is strictly based on hall tickets, and no student will be allowed without it. Officials clarified that even hall tickets downloaded directly from the official website are valid, and the principal’s signature is not mandatory.
From today, first year intermediate students are appearing for their papers, while second year exams will begin from Thursday. This year, about 9.97 lakh students are writing the exams at 1,495 centres across Telangana. The examinations will continue until March 18 as per the schedule.
To reduce travel difficulties, RTC has announced special support for students. Buses will stop for students even at non designated stops during exam days. Male students can travel free by showing hall tickets or concession passes, while women students will receive zero fare tickets under the Mahalakshmi scheme. These benefits apply on all exam days, including holidays and Sundays.
The Intermediate Board has also announced the evaluation plan. Answer paper valuation will begin from March 4, starting with Sanskrit papers. The process will be completed in three phases, and results are expected in the second week of April.
