CBSE Board Exam 2024: Guidelines Released for Students with Diabetes
As of my last update in January 2022, I don’t have specific information on guidelines released for students with diabetes for the CBSE Board Exam 2024. However, I can provide you with general guidelines that educational boards often follow for students with diabetes during exams:
1. **Medical Certificate**: Students with diabetes may need to submit a medical certificate from a registered medical practitioner, confirming their condition and any special requirements.
2. **Permission for Special Accommodations**: Boards may grant permission for special accommodations, such as extra breaks during exams for glucose monitoring or insulin administration if needed.
3. **Carrying Glucose**: Students may be allowed to carry glucose tablets or snacks into the exam hall in case of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). However, this may be subject to specific regulations and approval by the examination authorities.
4. **Access to Water**: Students with diabetes should have access to water during exams to stay hydrated, which is essential for managing blood sugar levels.
5. **Understanding Symptoms**: Invigilators and examiners may receive training to recognize symptoms of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia and provide appropriate assistance if needed.
6. **Flexible Scheduling**: In some cases, boards may allow flexible scheduling of exams to accommodate students’ medical needs, such as avoiding exams during times when blood sugar levels are typically more difficult to control.
7. **Designated Supervision**: There may be provisions for designated supervision or assistance for students with diabetes, ensuring that they can manage their condition effectively during exams without compromising their performance.
It’s essential for students with diabetes to communicate their needs to the examination authorities well in advance of the exam dates and provide any required documentation or medical certificates. Additionally, parents/guardians and healthcare providers may work together with the school or examination board to ensure that appropriate accommodations are in place to support the student during exams.
For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding guidelines for students with diabetes for the CBSE Board Exam 2024, I would recommend checking the official website of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) or contacting the board directly for clarification.
