In the capital Ranchi alone, 51 centers are operational, with Shivnarayan Marwari Girls +2 School’s Center Superintendent, Priya Ranjan, noting the exams’ timing from 9:45 AM to 12:30 PM on the inaugural day, adjusting to 1:00 PM in subsequent sessions. The afternoon shift commences at 2 PM, accommodating vocational and regional language assessments.
