When the SSC exam commenced on Tuesday, it may not have suffered the indignity of a paper leak as is the current trend, but one Khopoli centre with 300 terrified students still faced a one-hour delay in carrying out the examination.

The first paper - Marathi, was scheduled to begin at 11 am, but at Janata Vidyalaya, as the paper did not reach the centre on time, it could only be started at 11.50 am.
