  • Telangana strike: Parents to hold exams at home.

    Corporate schools in the Telangana region that have been closed since September 13 on account of the ongoing strike for statehood, have told parents to collect the quarterly exam question papers from the school and conduct exams for their children in their own homes!

    A majority of corporate schools in the region are owned by managements belonging to the Seemandhra region. These schools, which have been shut down from September 13, fearing attacks from T-activists, will be opened only after the Dasara vacation, on October 10.

    Parents were taken by surprise when they started receiving SMSes on their mobile phones from the schools asking them to collect the question papers and conduct the exams themselves.

    Mr M. Manik, a parent, said, “The corporate schools are giving question papers to parents for students from Classes VII to X since these schools start the foundation course for various competitive exams from this stage. The teachers told us that periodic exams are necessary for these students from this stage if they want to succeed in competitive exams after Class XII.”

  • Over 1 lakh students to appear for IIT-JEE today.

    HYDERABAD: Over one lakh students from the state will appear for IIT-Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE) on Sunday. The exam will be held from 9 am to 12 pm and 2 pm to 5 pm.

    JEE experts said there may be a change in the pattern of question paper this year. From the number of questions to the type of questions in Chemistry and Physics, sections could differ from that of last year, experts said.

    “From 2008 to 2010, the IIT paper setters had changed the number of questions in the first paper. Students can expect the same this year too,” said K V Raghunath, IIT-JEE expert from Narayana Group of Colleges. According to Ranghunath, the type of questions in Chemistry And physics might also change as the IIT-Kanpur faculty will be setting the paper this year.

    “IIT-Kanpur is known for their proficiency in Chemistry. Hence, this subject paper might turn out to be tougher than the last year,” said Raghunath.

    According to IIT teachers in the state, many academics across the country would expect students from Andhra Pradesh to do well this year as the state had bagged six of the top 10 IIT ranks last year. “Students from AP are usually good at Maths. Even if the Maths paper is tough this year, we will score really well,” said an expert.
