Karnataka government plans to promote only fresh/regular students without holding exams
The High Court of Karnataka on Thursday directed the State government not to declare results of fresher or regular students of second year pre-university (II PU) courses till a decision is taken based on the findings of the expert committee set up to study methodology to be applied for promoting repeater students. A division bench comprising Justice B.V. Nagarathna and Justice Hanchate Sanjeevkumar passed the interim order on a PIL petition filed by S.V. Singre Gowda, managing trustee of Gnana Mandira Education Trust, Bengaluru. The petitioner had questioned the decision of the Karnataka government to promote only fresh/regular students without holding exams, and conduct exams for repeaters and private candidates when COVD-19 pandemic situation eases.
