The annual Intermediate exams under the Rawalpindi Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (RBISE) started on Saturday.
RBISE Spokesman Arsalan Cheema said that foolproof arrangements were made for transparently and efficiently conducting the exams.

He said that special teams were formed for surprise checks on the examination centers and strict action would be taken against cheating.
Mobile phones, textbooks, test papers, calculators and other items which can help in an exam would not be allowed, he added.
