Necessary To Hold 2nd Year PU Exams: Karnataka Education Minister

Karnataka 2nd PUC (Class 12) Exams: An appropriate decision will be taken in the days to come, considering various aspects and the Centre's suggestions, Karnataka Primary and Secondary Education Minister Suresh Kumar said.

Karnataka Primary and Secondary Education Minister Suresh Kumar on Sunday said it was necessary to hold the second year Pre-University (Class 12) exams, in the interest of students' future. An appropriate decision will be taken in the days to come, considering various aspects and the Centre's suggestions, he said. The Minister, who participated in the meeting of the Education Ministers of all states organised by the Centre's Ministry of Education, stressed the need to hold exams for second PU students in some way as they prepare for professional courses. Earlier this month, the Karnataka government had postponed the second PUC (Class 12) examinations which were scheduled to begin from May 24, citing a surge in COVID cases as the reason. Holding the board exams, by simplifying the process after COVID completely comes under control, will also be adequate, the Minister was quoted as saying by his office in a statement.
