He further appealed to examination centre authorities, teachers and local people to cooperate with student volunteers who have been given identity cards by CoHSEM when they come to monitor the ongoing exam.
One flying squad team has been stationed in all the 91 exam centres and they have been monitoring the exam from the beginning till the end, Mahendra said.
