Not many want to opt to take exams later this year, say schools
Provisional mark sheets for 8.16 lakh class 12 students from State Board schools who recently got their results were made available by the Directorate of Government Examinations from Thursday. While the provisional mark sheets were available for downloading online, some schools also called students on campus in small batches to give them print-outs of the mark sheets as well as their TCs. Following the cancellation of the board exams, the State Government had said that 50% weightage would be given to the Class 10 public exam marks (average of the top three subjects); 20% to the Class 11 public exam theory marks; and 30% to the Class 12 practicals/internal marks for both practical and non-practical subject groups. While the School Education Department had said that students who are not happy with these results can take up the exams to be held later this year when the situation is conducive along with 39,000 private candidates, schools say that a majority of the students have not shown much inclination towards taking up the public exams. The school education department has also said that the marks the students score in the exam — if they opt to take it — will be considered final.More Related News
