Inter students not in a mood for first year exam
The Hindu
‘It’ll be easy and an opportunity for students to a get a feel of the exam’
Government’s decision to conduct Intermediate first year examination in the midst of second year classes, and that too when students are getting used to offline classes has drawn criticism from the student community.
However, the government argues that the conduct of examination from October 25 was in the interest of students and the pattern would be student-friendly with not much burden on them.
The National Students Union of India (NSUI), student wing of the Congress, opposed the examination, saying it was a burden on the students who had not attended any physical classes in the last 18 months while the online classes were confined to urban areas, that too with little positive impact. NSUI State president Venkat Balmoor demanded that the government let the students concentrate on their second year and promote all of them with a minimum of 60 per cent marks.
Amidst demand by the BJP for an investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the alleged unauthorised transfer of funds belonging to the Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation (MVSTDC), Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Friday said that the State government will not hand over the investigation to the CBI “voluntarily.”
