Bhubaneswar: As many as 2,100 students from Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) will appear for the Matric examination conducted by the Board of Secondary Education, Odisha.
It’s a record for the most number of students sitting in a Matric exam from a single institution in India, according to a KIIT release.
Girls (1,100) outnumber boys (1,000) in the number of KISS candidates in this year’s Matric exam which begins on February 19.
The KISS students will appear for the Matric at four centres in Bhubaneswar — IRC Village Government High School, Unit 4 Saraswati Shishu Vidya Mandir, Niladri Vihar, Saraswati Vidya Mandir, Unit 8 and IRC Village SBG Vidya Mandir.
As has been the practice every year, KIIT and KISS founder Dr Achyuta Samanta distributed pens to all the matric examinees and offered guidance on how to take the exam in a stress-free manner.
Conveying his best wishes to the students, Dr Samanta said he expects a large number of students to secure first division this year.
KISS has consistently achieved a 100 per cent success rate in the matric examinations every year.
To facilitate smooth transportation of students to and from the exam centres, KISS has arranged more than 80 buses.
