Bhubaneswar: Schools in the city are busy preparing students for the CBSE board test term, which will begin in the third week of November.
For the first time, the exam will be carried out in a multiple choice format, according to the revised pattern.
Many city schools have begun to do mock tests in online and offline mode to make students get acquainted with a new pattern.
The presence of students in the offline exam was very encouraging, said the authorities of various city schools.
