  • Lack of attendance; Students may miss Inter.

    HYDERABAD: As many as 25,000 students might miss their Intermediate Public Examinations due to lack of attendance. While students of several colleges in the state held protests on Saturday demanding their college authorities to issue hall tickets, the officials of Board of Intermediate Education (BIE) stated that there are thousands of students who do not have the required 75 per cent attendance in the state.

    According to the board officials, while there could be over 55,000 students who do not have 75 per cent attendance, there are about 25,000 who do not have even 60 per cent.

    Intermediate examinations are expected to begin on March 7 and around 18 lakh students are registered for the same.

    The BIE rules stipulate that all students should have 75 per cent attendance. But students who have 60 to 75 per cent attendance will be allowed to sit for the examinations if they produce medical certificates. According to BIE officials, each year 20,000 to 25,000 students do not write the examination as they have no hall tickets.

    “Students think that they can threaten the college authorities and get their hall tickets. But this year we have given strict instructions to all principals not to issue certificates if they do not have admissions,” BIE officials stated.

    Representatives of Government Junior College Lecturers’ Association stated that the college officials should inform about the lack of attendance to the parents well in advance. “The students who do not have enough attendance will have to sit for the examination as private candidates. If the principals inform the parents well in advance we will be able to take admissions,” said Madhusudan Reddy, general secretary of the association.

  • Telangana shadow on Inter exams as TRS firm on ‘Chalo Hyderabad’

    HYDERABAD: The academic future of thousands of students in the Telangana region appearing for their board examinations is at stake following the determination of the Telangana JAC and TRS to go ahead with the ‘Chalo Hyderabad’ programme on March 10 when about 10 lakh people from the region will descend on Hyderabad and paralyse the state capital for a day.

    The Intermediate exams are scheduled to begin on March 7, and English paper II is slated for March 10, the day of the ‘Chalo Hyderabad’ march. Apart from these students, scores of others would be appearing for the CBSE and ICSE Class X board exams that began on March one.

    Addressing the media on Wednesday, TRS leader and Sircilla MLA K Taraka Rama Rao said: “There is no question of postponing the ‘Chalo Hyderabad’. When the Inter exams in the previous years were held in the third week of March, why are they being held in the first week this time. Chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy should intervene immediately and reschedule the exams,” he said.

    However, school managements are of the view that it would be easier for the pro-Telangana parties to postpone their march than rescheduling a series of exams being conducted by different boards. In all, there are nearly 9 lakh students appearing for the Inter exams from the T region. The CBSE exams are being held in 100 schools and the ICSE exams in 40 in the region.

    BOARD OF INTERMEDIATE (BIE) HELP LINE NUMBERS:

    HYDERABAD: Intermediate students will not get any additional sheet apart from the twenty-four page booklet and they have to write all their answers in those sheets only.

    In Hyderabad region the exam will be conducted in 156 centres and about 1.10 lakh students are taking the test, according to Regional Inspection Officer, Hyderabad region.

    Students facing any problems in the twin cities with regard to examination can contact the helpline centres on 040-23236433 and 23641530.
