Maharashtra Board Considers Digital Examinations to Reduce Paper Waste

Digital Examinations for SSC and HSC Maharashtra Board: Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) has indicated to conduct 10th and 12th exams digitally in future. As many as 1900 tons of paper and crores of leaves were used for this year's 12th examination, for which thousands of trees were cut. To avoid this, a'paperless'examination is being considered and the'GPS Digital Lock'experiment implemented on a pilot basis in Baramati has been successful. This will now make the board exams high-tech and will help protect the environment.
