The annual Plus-II examinations, conducted by the Odisha Council of Higher Secondary Education (CHSE), commenced across the state on Friday, an official said.
Exams started at 10 am, and 384,597 students from the commerce, science, and arts streams are taking them.
Examination controller Ashok Nayak of the CHSE claimed that 1,160 centers, the majority of which are under CCTV supervision, are hosting the tests.
To further ensure that there are no anomalies, the department of schooling and mass education has established teams at the district, zonal, and CHSE levels to oversee the examinations.
Nayak said permanent squads of the education department have been deployed in Angul, Keonjhar, and Koraput for the entire duration of the exams to ensure prompt movement to the exam centres in remote areas of the district in case of irregularities. The exams will end on March 20.
Candidates have been advised to arrive at the centres 30 minutes before the start of the exam. Question papers will be distributed five minutes before the exam, he said.
