20% increase sanctioned by government may not be adequate this time
The number of Plus One seats in Ernakulam district would be just enough for aspirants who passed the Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) examination this year, according to the data available with the General Education Department. The marginal increase of 20% sanctioned by the government this time may not be adequate, if there is an increase in the number of students shifting from the unaided sector to public schools in the new academic year. Previous trends showed that many students from the CBSE and other Central boards had switched to Plus One courses offered by the government and aided schools. The intake capacity for Plus One courses in government and aided schools in the district is 26,750 based on the ratio of 50 students in a batch. Around 32,100 students in Ernakulam had cleared the SSLC examination held in March this year, according to the data.More Related News
