This happened in tribal home land Jharkhand where the Class 10 (Matric) examinations was concluded on Thursday with the regional language papers with one candidate and over two dozen 

Although over seven lakh students appeared for the exams over a span of 20 days, one examination centre witnessed the presence of only a single student.

Despite this, 18 surveillance teams, 12 police personnel, CCTV cameras, and a magistrate were deployed to ensure the smooth conduct of the examination.

Shankar Kumar Singh appeared for his "Music" examination at the Upgraded Middle School in Garhwa district, Jharkhand, where he sat alone as the sole candidate. The centre has the capacity to accommodate 406 students.

One candidate, one exam and so huge section of exam conductors quickly became a talking point in the region. However, officials stated that the arrangements were part of broader measures to ensure free and fair examinations across the district.

The centre can accommodate 406 candidates and has maintained an impressive attendance record, with only one student absent on a single day during the entire examination period.
