The Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC), Alim and HSC in Business Management (BM) examinations began simultaneously across the country yesterday.

Education ministry sources said on the first day of the examinations, 313 students were expelled across the country.

Education Adviser Ayub Quadri made surprise visits to a number of examination centres in the city and spoke to the examinees and the invigilators, an official release of the education ministry said.

The adviser visited the centres at Notre Dame College, Siddheshwari University College, Lalmatia Housing Society Boys' High School, and Mohammadpur Quaderia Toyebia Kamil Madrasa and asked all concerned to hold the examinations in a copying-free atmosphere.

He, however, expressed his dissatisfaction over the seat arrangement at Siddheshwari University College and asked the authorities concerned to take necessary steps in this respect.

Students are also appearing at the examinations at five overseas centres in Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Jeddah, Riyadh and Tripoli.
