As the Madhyamik examinations kick off in West Bengal on February 2, the Kolkata Police have introduced a helpline to aid students. If students encounter any issues on their way to the exam centers, they can dial 9432610039 for assistance from police officers. The helpline will offer support in cases like forgetting admit cards or facing delays in reaching the exam venue.
Ambulances will be strategically placed on key city roads to swiftly transport any unwell students to hospitals. Alongside the helpline initiative, extra buses will operate in Kolkata and nearby districts during the Madhyamik exams. Approximately 20 additional buses will ply on 15 different routes throughout the eight-day examination period.
To alleviate concerns about punctuality, the state government’s decision to run extra buses aims to ensure students and parents can reach the exam centers without stress. By leaving home on time, students can expect a smooth journey to their destinations. The Madhyamik exams are scheduled to commence on February 2 and conclude on the 12th, with exam dates falling on February 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 12.
During the exam hours from 10.45 a.m. to 2.00 p.m. on weekdays, traffic congestion is common, making timely arrivals challenging. Recognizing this, the Kolkata Police have set up a helpline to support students in reaching their exam centers promptly. This year, a total of 9,71,340 candidates will participate in the Madhyamik exams, a slight increase from the previous year’s 9,69,425 candidates.
