The State Examinations Commission has statutory responsibility for preparation of examination papers, examination materials and operational matters relating to the certificate examinations including organising the holding of examinations and determining procedures in places where examinations are conducted including the supervision of examinations. In view of this I have forwarded your query to the State Examinations Commission for direct reply to you.
