Conducting of the SSLC exams were considered as the litmus test for the ruling BJP. Majority of students had attended exams amid the hijab crisis and drama. Muslim students, barring few, shunned the hijab to take up the crucial examinations.
This was the first time after the Covid pandemic that the exams were conducted in the normal pattern. Section 144 was clamped in and around 3,444 examination centres across the state and tight police security cover provided to avoid any showdown or untoward incidents.
As many as 60,000 government officers were put into the exercise of monitoring the examinations.
