First year marks to be considered for grades
Chief Minister, K. Chandrasekhar Rao in all likelihood will take a decision to pass all second-year Intermediate students after the Central government decided to do away with CBSE 12th class exams this year. The Board of Intermediate Education (BIE) is preparing a document with two or three options for the Chief Minister to consider on cancellation as well as awarding the marks based on the first year performance. The report will be sent to the Chief Minister in a couple of days, a senior BIE official told The Hindu, and cancelling the examinations is on top of the agenda in the present circumstances as the road has already been laid by the Central government. Other proposals include conducting the exams at a later date with reduced time and questions, which has already been conveyed to the Union Education Minister when he sought suggestions from the State governments.More Related News
