The QR code comes embedded with examination centre details. Scanning the code with a smartphone, students can identify their examination centre, check the distance, estimate the time required for travel and even get real-time traffic updates.

The initiative introduced by the Telangana Board of Intermediate Education during the intermediate public exams in March 2025 was beneficial for students especially in Hyderabad where identifying college locations was challenging.

“We are exploring QR codes for the Class X hall tickets and necessary works have already been commenced,” said a senior official.

Meanwhile, around 5.27 lakh students, including 10,000 private once failed candidates registered for the Class X examinations until the last count on Friday. The last date to register for the exams with a late fee of Rs 500 is December 29.

This academic year, the Class X exams schedule is spread across one month. The exams will commence with the first language paper on March 14 and major exams will conclude with social studies on April 13. The OSSC main language paper – I and SSC vocational course exams are on April 15, and OSSC main language paper – II on April 16.
