The Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education (MPBSE) will conduct Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations at 138 centres across Indore district, with Class 12 exams beginning on February 10 and Class 10 exams from February 13. The district administration and education department have put enhanced security and logistical arrangements in place to ensure the smooth and fair conduct of the examinations.
According to officials, examination materials are being dispatched on a priority basis to all centres. In a significant security upgrade this year, question papers will be stored at designated police stations instead of schools. On each exam day, the papers will be transported to centres under strict supervision, accompanied by security personnel, to minimise the risk of leaks or tampering.
The MP Board has also revised the examination schedule for certain subjects midway through the academic calendar. The Class 10 Hindi examination has been shifted from February to March. For Class 12, the Urdu and Marathi paper will now be held on March 6, while the Hindi examination has been rescheduled for March 7. Officials confirmed that all examinations will be conducted from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon.
In Indore, the distribution of examination materials is being coordinated from Malwa Kanya School, which has been designated as the nodal centre. The campus has seen heightened activity over the past two days as materials are sorted and dispatched. Under the supervision of representatives authorised by the district collector, materials have already been delivered to 74 rural centres, including those in Mhow, Depalpur and Sanwer. Distribution to the remaining centres is expected to be completed by Friday.
The transport department has arranged special vehicles to ensure secure movement of question papers and answer sheets. Temporary tents and logistical support facilities have also been set up at the nodal centre to manage the large-scale operation efficiently.
To further curb malpractice, the administration has introduced technology-driven monitoring measures. Sensitive examination centres will be placed under CCTV surveillance, and videography will be mandatory when question papers are taken out from police stations and delivered to examination venues. Security guards will accompany the process at all stages.
The education department has directed all schools to clearly communicate the revised timetable to students and parents. Teachers have been instructed to personally verify that every student is aware of the changes, ensuring that no candidate misses an examination due to confusion over earlier dates.
