Karnataka Board Exam 2021 Class 12 News
The second PUC exam results will be declared by the Department of Pre-University Education, Karnataka by July 20, 2021.
S Suresh Kumar, the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, announced the news in a press conference on Friday morning. While lakhs of students were relieved when the verdict on the II PUC was announced, the notification on the SSLC exams caused disappointment. He promised, however, that no student, whether in II PUC or SSLC, would fail and that everyone would be promoted.
Suresh Kumar stated at the press conference that the government had decided on the two essential examinations after extensive conversations and brainstorming with specialists, authorities, and educators. Suggestions from students and parents, he said, were also considered. He added that the government reached out to other state administrations that had cancelled board exams to learn how they planned to evaluate pupils without tests.
He stated that the II PUC exams have been cancelled, and that students will be judged on their performance in the I PUC examinations, which will be held in February 2020. The I PUC exams were administered on a district-by-district basis. Students will be judged based on their performance on that exam,” he added, adding that if any student is unhappy with their scores, the department is considering holding examinations for them when the Covid matter is resolved.
