"Today marks the start of the 2014 National Senior Certificate examinations for 9978 full time candidates and 519 private candidates registered with the Independent Examinations Board," IEB CEO Anne Oberholzer said in a statement.

The candidates would write their exams at 191 examination centres across the country, she said.
